Hello everyone. In addition to all the relevant things you had mention, I think it is important to highlight that different communities may need different engagement strategies. For instance, we had a pretty good experience implementing a Health Tutors Program for one of the studies here in Perú, to provide a closer approach an assistance for MSM and transgender people. As a result of this approach, we were able no only to realise that this populations face unique and harder barriers for their engagement, but also to help them to overcome those barriers in order to achieve a better engagement, and it worked.

The link with the community and the CBOs are also important, because it is the way the clinics and institutes have for demonstrate their commitment with the development of the vulnerable populations. To sum up: The better quality of live, the better levels of engagement.
