which include technical consultation on HIV

A range of activities in relation to technical and financial support was detailed. In the Middle
East and North Africa, a very limited set of activities was restricted to supporting civil society
and working in prison settings. In Europe and Central Asia, WHO has been supporting a few
activities, which include technical consultation on HIV, other sexually transmitted infections, and
men who have sex with men, as well as the revision of normative guidance on HIV prevention,
treatment and care for men who have sex with men. WHO plans to undertake a regional
consultation on men who have sex with men in its Regional Office for Africa. A few activities,
undertaken mainly by UNDP, with the UNAIDS Secretariat, and also by WHO, are reported for
sub-Saharan Africa, including capacity building and networking, coordination on men who have
sex with men and HIV-related work, as well as advocacy tools on human rights issues. Across
West to East Asia and the Pacific, UNESCO reported the largest number of activities supporting
specifically men who have sex with men, transgender people and HIV-related work in the
Mekong subregion, and reported support for a meeting that addressed men who have sex with
men, transgender people and HIV-related issues for the Asia-Pacific region, as did UNAIDS and
UNDP. WHO held a consultation meeting across South-East Asia on scaling-up HIV prevention,
care and treatment for men who have sex with men in 2007 and is planning another consultation
