    • Development of a common understanding of the concept of intersectional stigma and discrimination within the context of HIV prevention and care;
    • Harmonization of methods and measurements of intersectional stigma and discrimination;
    • Identification of opportunities within, across, and beyond EHE jurisdictions to monitor intersectional stigma and discrimination;
    • Review of evidence-based interventions designed to reduce intersectional stigma and discrimination;
    • Integration and tailoring of intersectional interventions to advance EHE goals and improve HIV prevention and treatment outcomes globally; and
    • Next steps to address research opportunities and advance implementation plans.
