interventions for key populations

The project will conduct several strategic operational research themes to inform EECA city models to improve outpatient Tuberculosis treatment (Odesa, Ukraine), collaborative HIV/TB interventions (Balti, Moldova), and increased uptake of ART by key populations based on case management model (Almaty, Kazakhstan).

Support to the models will be provided from Bern and Amsterdam – partnering cities in the project, whose municipalities and civil society have committed to share experiences and support their peers from EECA.

Importantly, regional key populations networks – Eurasian Network of People who Use Drugs, Eurasian Coalition on Male Health, South Caucasus Network, Sex Workers’ Rights Advocacy Network (SWAN) – have been engaged to prioritize involvement in the project of key groups both on the regional and cities’ levels.
