The Initiative for Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (IMPT)
The IMPT Mission
The mission of IMPT is to raise awareness about and support for new and emerging multipurpose prevention technologies that can be designed for use in various combinations to address multiple sexual and reproductive health needs. IMPT’s focus is on advancing the most promising of these technologies as quickly and efficiently as possible and advocating for an integrated development program of innovative pre-clinical and clinical research, regulatory strategies, scale-up, public readiness, and product evaluation.
To make this happen, the IMPT strives to:
- Mobilize financial, scientific, and political resources to advance the development and access of MPTs;
- Build synergy and cooperation between scientific disciplines that will help facilitate collaborations and expedite product development and implementation;
- Develop a cross-disciplinary advocacy strategy and promote increased support for MPTs.
