Cross border
Crossborder – Uganda och Rwanda
Crossborder is a three-year collaborative project funded by ForumCiv. ForumCiv forwards contributions from SIDA.
The vision is freedom from HIV infections, zero discrimination against Key Populations and a healthy and inclusive society
The project will work to strengthen Key Population (KP), in our case sex workers and LGBTQI people, who are vulnerable groups, and their opportunities to access equal, non-discriminatory HIV and AIDS care, strengthen vulnerable groups’ social and economic capacity.
Within the framework of the project, it is planned to take place through cooperative entrepreneurship, increased awareness in society among those responsible in politics and within authorities about the structural barriers that exist and which lead to discrimination of KPs and to develop organizations’ capacity and cooperation among all four organizations .
