Introduction

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is behind in the global journey towards achieving the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals. With just over half of the 230,000 people living with HIV in MENA being aware of their HIV status, HIV testing and treatment coverage is far below the global average. Only 24% of all People Living with HIV (PLHIV) access ART and an even lower percentage (16%) of all PLHIV achieve viral suppression. MENA has the lowest number of people living with HIV, however, there is high prevalence and growing epidemics among Key Populations (KP). KPs are criminalized which is coupled with social, political and cultural norms that hinder their access to health and advancement of their rights.  Finally, in MENA region, governments show weak levels of political commitment to HIV – reinforced by the fact that HIV prevalence is low, thus is not a priority. 

“Sustainability of services for KPs in MENA region” is a three-year multi country programme that will be implemented by civil society organizations from Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia and by regional networks. The programme aims at addressing the forth-mentioned challenges and at increasing sustainability of quality HIV prevention, treatment and care services for KPs  that would accelerate progress on UNAIDS Fast-Track targets. This will be done through interventions that cannot be addressed through the country allocations alone, but through the application of the following strategies: 

  • Implement evidence – based programming to reduce human rights barriers.
  • Strengthen institutional & technical capacity of civil society
  • Strengthen partnership between civil society and the state primarily, as well as with other influencers
  • Promote evidence-based innovative and sustainable delivery models
  • Develop evidence-informed advocacy strategies to promote change.

The programme started on January 1st 2019 and will continue until 31 December 2021 (inclusive)

As part of the programme, Frontline Technical Assistance will provide rapid, responsive and high quality support to organisations who need advice and guidance to improve the way they work and has three key principles: Sustainability, Community empowerment and Flexible approach.
