Grantees

Grantee List

SHARP seeks to increase access to quality health services by promoting protection of sexual rights to prevent the further spread of HIV infection among socially marginalized populations in West Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union (particularly Kyrgyzstan), and Southeast Asia by 2007.

Anticipated Outcomes

• Field-based providers and advocates can better design, implement, and advocate for practices and policies that positively impact the sexual health and rights of socially marginalized populations around HIV/AIDS issues (particularly focused on sex workers and men who have sex with men).
• Field-based providers and advocates strengthen organizational capacity.
• Socially marginalized populations are more fully engaged in the development and implementation of services and policies that impact their sexual health and rights related to HIV/AIDS.
• The evidence base for sexual health and rights interventions and best practices (encompassing comprehensive educational, research and advocacy materials) is expanded and used to guide policy development at every level.

Overall Impact

A full range of sexual health services and rights protections are available and accessible to socially marginalized communities around their HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care needs.
