Community Action, Sexual Health and Human Rights: The Global Forum on MSM & HIV Strategic Plan 2016-2021

The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) was founded in 2006 at the Toronto International AIDS Conference by an international group of activists concerned about the disproportionate HIV disease burden being shouldered by gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men worldwide. The silence at that time about the toll HIV was taking on gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men was deeply troubling to many community members and advocates working at the frontlines.

In order to develop its new Strategic Plan (2016-2021), MSMGF undertook a comprehensive and iterative consultation process with MSMGF members, partners, Board members and staff. We gathered evidence through a series of activities conducted between early 2015 and early 2016. These activities, as well as other strategies gathered through the whole process is outlined in this document.
