<blockquote>'''Van Lith, Lynn M.'''
* Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs
* MPA
* New York, USA
Lynn M. Van Lith is the Technical Director for the USAID-funded Breakthrough ACTION project at Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, USA.
Lynn Van Lith has nearly 25 years of experience working in international development with a focus on HIV and reproductive health. Much of her work over the past two decades has focused on providing technical leadership and guidance to programs with a particular focus on social and behavior change interventions and strategies to create impact through effective HIV prevention and treatment interventions in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of her career has focused on program management and providing technical leadership of multi-disciplinary teams in the design of social and behavior change programs. Her work has included a focus on community engagement, adolescent girls and young women, key populations and more recently in understanding how best to drive demand for voluntary medical male circumcision and engage men across the treatment continuum. Publications have focused on the impact of health communication in HIV prevention and care outcomes as well as male circumcision. Lynn has lived in Zambia and South Africa and provided technical support to nearly 20 countries across Africa and Asia.<ref>{{REFdocument
