The Jamaican Government expressed an interest in two main areas of Brazil’s work with children and adolescents: HIV/AIDS prevention and sexual health, and the child protection system. They wanted to look at how both of these programmes had a strong focus on adolescent participation in decision-making processes. In the area of HIV/AIDS, they expressed interest in learning about the Brazilian experiences with prevention programmes and adolescent pregnancy and the transmission of sexual diseases, especially with high-risk groups such as sex workers and exploited groups. As for the child protection component, the cooperation seeks to respond to Jamaica’s willingness to establish a comprehensive system to address issues of child and sexual abuse and exploitation.
