Bridging the Gaps: an international HIV programme on health and rights for LGBT people, sex workers and people who use drugs Sex workers , lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and people who use drugs are typically 10 to 20 times more likely to become infected by HIV while only 8% have access to HIV services. The denial of human rights has a negative impact on their health. Our mission is to achieve universal access to HIV/STI prevention, treatment, care and support for sex workers, LGBT people and people who use drugs. In our approach we want to create added value by focusing simultaneously on all three key populations and on the crossovers between them in one single programme. Moreover, we link human rights and health as well as community level work with global advocacy. The alliance brings together nine organisations Aids Fonds, AFEW, COC, Mainline, GNP+, INPUD, ITPC, MSMGF and NSWP, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and almost 100 implementing organisations. Bridging the Gaps is one of the biggest programmes of its kind that works with and for the health and rights of key populations. The Bridging the Gaps alliance hosts a diverse group of organisations and our shared Theory of Change captures our joint ambitions and plans as well as our shared commitment to achieve these goals. To protect the rights of key populations, our interrelated long term goals are: a strengthened civil society that holds governments to account; an increased fulfilment of the human rights of key populations; and improved sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and fewer HIV transmissions. In the initial phase of the programme (Jan-Jun 2016) Mainline, as one of the alliance members, is now - together with the implementing partners - developing country specific TOCs and workplans.
