Central Asia AIDS Control Project

The Central Asia AIDS Control Project aims at contributing to minimizing the potential negative human and economic impact of a generalized HIV/AIDS epidemic. The project has the following two components: Component 1) will aim to: (i) establish a legal environment that facilitates the implementation of the HIV/AIDS Regional Strategy, including prevention work with highly vulnerable groups such as drug users, commercial sex workers, men who have sex with men, prisoners and mobile populations; (ii) improve information and decision-making based on good quality epidemiological data; and (iii) build capacity of public agencies, NGOs and the private sector engaged in HIV/AIDS control. Component 2) will establish a demand-driven Regional AIDS Fund (RAF) to finance initiatives that will contribute to containing the rapidly growing epidemic of HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in Central Asia. This grant facility is consistent with the regional scope of the Project and is expected to promote regional cooperation; allow for better coverage of gaps in AIDS-related activities; increase transparency over the use of grant funds; encourage grant applicants from participating countries, through evaluation criteria, to target projects in priority areas; and build local capacity to develop and manage projects.**
