The Aidsfonds is pleased to launch a call for
proposals for the Advocacy towards Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
for Key Populations.
The Love Alliance aims to improve the sexual and reproductive
health and rights (SRHR) of sex workers, people who use drugs, LGBTQI+ people
and people living with HIV in Africa. The Love Alliance works towards a
significant reduction in HIV incidence by influencing policies, organising
communities and raising awareness on health rights in ten countries. Love
Alliance brings together organisations led by the communities which are most
affected by HIV and AIDS across Africa: thought leaders (GALZ, SANPUD,
Sisonke), grantmakers (UHAI EASHRI, AFE, ISDAO) and the global network of
people living with HIV (GNP+).
There is insufficient funding for key
populations – only 2% of global HIV funding reaches these groups. That is why
this call will specifically fund advocacy by organisations and networks led by
LGBTQI+ people, sex workers, people who use drugs, including people living with
HIV and young key populations. They especially encourage organisations
inclusive of transgender groups and working from a feminist perspective to
apply.
What work can be done under this call?
- Community-driven national
advocacy for SRHR of key populations
- Joint key population (sub)
regional advocacy
- National coordination of joint
advocacy
- Capacity Strengthening
Funding Information
The proposal duration is for one and a half
years, with a minimum of EUR 10,000 to a maximum amount of EUR 100,000 per
year. The total available amount under this call is €1,218,232 million Euro.
Geographical Scope: Within the Love Alliance, Aidsfonds is responsible
for participatory grantmaking in the Southern African region, limited to South
Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
