ECOM – Eurasian Coalition on Health, Rights, Gender and Sexual Diversity in partnership with the organizations “Aidsfonds” (Netherlands) and ICF “Alliance for Public Health” (Ukraine) is implementing a program aimed at reducing the negative impact of the Russian war against Ukraine on the access of key populations (KP) to HIV services and humanitarian assistance in the region of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA).

The program includes the provision of grants to support initiatives of communities of KP aimed at ensuring the access of KP to HIV-related services, protecting the rights of KP, overcoming discrimination and stigmatization, as well as at ensuring the access of KP to humanitarian assistance.
 
As part of this program, ECOM is announcing a third call for proposals for organizations and unregistered initiative groups led by communities of KP vulnerable to HIV in CEECA countries (except Ukraine).

TRACKS SUPPORTED UNDER THE CALL FOR PROPOSALS:

1. Self-organization of communities in migration
2. Providing services for key populations in migration
3. Removing political barriers to the “legalization” of migrants affected by HIV and their access to social or health services
