Why bold action against inequalities is needed to en AIDS, stop COVID-19 and prepare for future pandemics
Reporting period: January 2014 – December 2014
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in Myanmar is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM), people who inject drugs (PWID) and female sex workers (FSW). HIV prevalence in the adult population aged 15 years and older was esti...mated at 0.54% in 2014. But data from HIV Sentinel Sero-Surveillance (HSS) indicates higher prevalence in 2014 among key populations: FSW 6.3%, MSM 6.6% and PWID 23.1%. Compared to 2012 data, the prevalence has declined from 7.1% in FSW and 8.9% in MSM, but has increased from 18% in PWID.
Epidemiological modelling suggests that in 2014 there were around 212,000 people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Myanmar, 34% of whom were females. Nearly 11,000 people died of HIV-related illnesses, compared to approximately 15,000 in 2011. An estimated 9,000 new infections occurred in 2014.

Der Globale Fonds (GF) ist ein unverzichtbares Finanzierungsinstrument für die effektive Bekämpfung der drei großen Epidemien Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria. Zu seinen Grundprinzipien gehören die Ausrichtung auf Wirksamkeit der Präventions- und Behandlungsprogramme, die Einbindung aller wichtige...n zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteure und Communitys, der Fokus auf die Umsetzung menschenrechtsbasierter Ansätze, Country Ownership sowie transparente Entscheidungsprozesse einschließlich der Mittelvergabe. 2019 sagte Deutschland für die 6. Wiederauffüllungskonferenz für den Zeitraum bis 2022 eine Milliarde Euro zu. 2020 kamen Sonderzahlungen in Höhe von 150 Mio € für den vom GF eingerichteten Covid-19-Krisenreaktionsmechanismus (Covid-19 RM) zur Eindämmung der Pandemie hinzu, in 2021 nochmals 140 Mio. €. Der Mehrbedarf zur Bewältigung der Covid-19 Pandemie ist jedoch unabhängig vom Bedarf für die Bekämpfung von Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria zu betrachten. Dieser Mehrbedarf darf nicht über das Kernbudget für die Programme des Globalen Fonds gedeckt werden.

Managing Sexual Violence against Aid Workers aims to support aid agencies in preventing, being prepared for and responding to incidents of sexual violence against their staff. It is intended as a good practice guide to help strengthen existing processes and support organisations as they set up their... own protocols.
This guide is aimed at anyone with a responsibility for staff care, safety and security, as well as anyone involved in processes aimed at preventing or responding to incidents of sexual violence against staff, such as security focal points, HR staff, project and programmes staff, and first responders to incidents of sexual violence within an aid organisation.

cooperation – with official development assistance
(ODA) as the dominant means of implementa...tion –
remains key, despite being generally considered as no
longer adequate for addressing today’s common and
collective challenges.
