AIDS Foundation East-West (AFEW) will hold a seminar to offer community-based organisations and individuals in Eastern Europe and Central Asia a research opportunity on the needs and priorities for key populations. The findings of the research will be used to design future successful intervention programmes.
The seminar on how to conduct research will take place on March 24 at the 5th Eastern Europe and Central Asia AIDS Conference (EECAAC) in Moscow. The seminar is open to all interested community-based organisations and individuals representing or working for people living with HIV, people who use drugs, sex workers, prisoners and men who have sex with men in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
At the seminar AFEW will introduce a small grants programme to which organisations and/or individuals with interesting and unique research proposal can apply. The grant programme is available in the framework of preparations for the XXII International AIDS Conference in 2018 in the Netherlands. Successful grantees can submit abstracts for AIDS-2018.
