What we do

Our work

Bridging the Gaps collaborates with over 80 partner organisations led by and working for sex workers, people who use drugs and LGBT people. Together, we work to strengthen civil society, advocate for their human rights and improve the provision of HIV services in sixteen countries across three regions:

Sub-Saharan Africa: Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe
Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Vietnam
Eastern Europe and Central Asia: Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine

See our World Map below for an overview of the countries where we work and our activities and partners there.

Our intervention strategies

At the national level, many of our in-country partners work to deliver inclusive, rights-based and gender-sensitive health and other services that address the needs of key populations.

Policy changes are greatly needed to ensure access to HIV services for key populations. That is why Bridging the Gaps partners jointly implement advocacy activities on global and regional levels.

In-country partners work to hold their governments accountable for the fulfilment of key populations’ rights, while they also fuel, inform and guide our global and regional advocacy efforts. Bridging the Gaps also works with community-led organisations and networks on community development. We ensure that key population communities are organised and strengthened through partnerships, as well as aware of their rights.
