ISEAN-Hivos
– HIV/AIDS (MARPS) Round 10
EoI No.: ISEAN IHP I-16
Issuance Date: 02 February 2015
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Background:
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Timor Leste show an increasing
trend of HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) and Transgender people
(TG). In all four countries, national HIV strategies and plans identify MSM and
TG as priority groups and outline strategies to provide targeted HIV
services. Widespread stigma and
discrimination due to cultural and religious norms imply that MSMs and TGs are
marginalized and are difficult to reach through existing HIV–related government
services. This has also resulted to MSMs and TGs having limited opportunities
to be organized or have a “voice” in local, national and regional policy making
and service delivery. Data and research about risks and vulnerabilities to
guide interventions for MSMs and TGs are also very limited.
Knowledge is power, so in order to empower the community, it is crucial
to supply them with sufficient knowledge and information. The value of
knowledge increase when it’s made available to the right people at the right
time. The digital revolution has made the world a much
smaller place due to the increased possibilities and speed at which we can
exchange information across borders and continents. Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) have the potential of assuming a strategic
role in making most efficient use in bringing information where it is needed.
ISEAN intends to develop a news hub, an improvement on the current
website that can be accessed by anyone, with no charge, and will featured
selected news from around the world on LGBT issues. ISEAN also intends to develop an incident
