men, transgender people and HIV

Strengthen capacity and promote partnerships to ensure
broader and better responses for men who have sex with
men, transgender people and HIV
Ensuring sufficient capacity in intergovernmental, governmental and nongovernmental organizations
to appropriately address diverse sexuality and HIV is vital if men who have sex with men and
transgender people are to get universal access to HIV-related services. This includes not only
organizations responsible for developing policies and delivering programmes, but donors and other
stakeholders. Working together, between different types of organizations and across organizations,
can help to ensure that appropriate policies and programmes are developed and that UNAIDS and
its Cosponsors will support the harmonization of effort and implementation of the “Three Ones”
principles21. To ensure that UN staff members have the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to
undertake and promote this work, training materials will be developed and training will be provided.
UNAIDS and its Cosponsors have already undertaken considerable work in relation to maleto-
male sex, transgender people and HIV by disseminating normative and technical guidance
and frameworks, supporting training for government, civil society and other partners, providing
funding and technical support for HIV interventions by civil society organizations, providing
funding and technical support for in-country and regional civil society networks, and supporting
national and regional Global Fund proposal development by government and civil society
coalitions. This work should be continued and intensified.
