Project
OverviewThe
USAID-funded project, Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key
Populations Affected by HIV (LINKAGES), under the President’s Emergency Plan
for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program is implemented by FHI 360 in partnership with
Pact, IntraHealth International and the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, and conducts a range of activities to reduce HIV transmission among key
populations (KP) — sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender persons
and people who inject drugs — and improve their enrollment and retention in
care and treatment across the HIV cascade. LINKAGES will accelerate the ability
of governments, key population leaders, organizations working with key
populations, and private-sector providers to plan and implement services that
reduce HIV transmission among key populations and their sexual partners and
extend the lives of those already living with HIV. The key elements of the FHI
360-led team’s strategic and technical approach are: •     
Identifying
key populations and locales and comprehensively assessing risk,•     
Diagnosing
“leaks” and revealing access barriers within the HIV services cascade,•     
Scaling
up “what works” while innovating to ensure the most strategic use of resources
and access to newly emerging technologies,•     
Addressing
structural barriers and transforming local KP organizations,•     
Ensuring
interventions are sustainable over the long term, and•     
Supporting
the mainstreaming of human rights, gender and competency and capacity
development. SCOPE
