Training Coordinator

In 2010, the Humanist Institute for Co-operation with Developing Countries (Hivos) and the Insular Southeast Asian Network on Men having Sex with Men (MSM), Transgender (TG), and HIV (ISEAN) jointly submitted a regional proposal to the Global Fund for AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis (GFATM) Round 10. This grant has the main goal of reducing (a) the vulnerability and risks of MSM and TG to HIV infection and (b) the impact of HIV on their lives in Insular Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Timor Leste). It intends to address critical gaps in supporting and scaling up activities that reduce HIV/AIDS among MSMs and TGs. The project, entitled ‘Strengthening Community Systems to Reduce Vulnerability to and Impact of HIV infection on MSM and TG in Insular Southeast Asia’, was approved by GFATM and is expected to start on September, 2011.
