Count Me In

Regionally in the Asia and Pacific, adolescents and young key populations are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS and yet are often excluded from policy, program and funding decisions at national, regional and global levels. This exclusion contributes to them being severely underserved by the HIV response. We believe the role of most affected communities in the HIV epidemic points to the crucial importance of their meaningful engagement in making policy and funding decisions. Young Key Populations are no exception.

This documentation was produced by Youth LEAD, The Regional Network of Young Key Population in Asia and Pacific as a showcase of our support and interventions to Young Key Populations from Indonesia, Pakistan and Vietnam who applied the Global Fund funding request as the first window applicants beginning from late 2016 to early 2017.
