For an enhanced response for male-to-male sex, transgender people and HIV, the UNAIDS
Secretariat and Cosponsors will:
Assess and strengthen the capacity, where necessary, of intergovernmental,
governmental—including national AIDS programmes and other departments that
cover issues such as health, education, justice (including the police) and youth—and
nongovernmental organizations, at the international, regional and local levels, to work
in partnership, to develop appropriate and targeted programming to reach men who
have sex with men and transgender people, including addressing the intersections of
multiple risks, such as sex work and injecting drug use for men who have sex with
men and transgender people (see box following for a comprehensive set of measures
to address HIV-related issues among men who have sex with men and transgender
people);
Identify and advocate additional financial resources to address HIV among men who
have sex with men and transgender people, help direct these resources to where they
are most needed, and support governments and civil society in receiving and applying
funds for HIV-related work that addresses male-to-male sex and transgender people;
Appoint recognized focal points in key UNAIDS cosponsoring agencies and the
UNAIDS Secretariat to create dedicated capacity to coordinate and respond rapidly
to issues in relation to male-to-male sex, transgender people and HIV;
Ensure that UNAIDS-supported regional knowledge hubs and technical support
facilities are able to deliver timely support and strategic information on male-to-male
sex, transgender people and HIV;
Develop and provide ‘in-reach’ training for UN staff members on issues relating to
male-to-male sex, transgender people and HIV.
