REACHING MSM/TRANS POPULATIONS: INTERNATIONAL SESSION
Tuesday 8 December
10:45 - 12:15 pm
Designed by: Global Forum on MSM & HIV
Sponsored by: Levi Strauss Foundation
Rapid Changes in the HIV Sector and Their Implications for Men Who Have Sex with Men Worldwide: New Strategies for Funding Community
Internationally, the AIDS landscape is changing dramatically and at a rapid pace as evidenced by: Withdrawal of international funding aid from lower-middle- and middle-income countries;
- Bio-medicalization of the HIV response;
- Mainstreaming of HIV within a broader global public health agenda; and
- Persistent (and in many instances worsening) criminalization, stigma, discrimination, and violence directed at men who have sex with men and other key populations.
These changes are taking place while escalating HIV epidemics among men who have sex with men go unabated worldwide. Moreover, the likely net effect of these changes is a weakened community-based response in places where men who have sex with men are hardest hit by HIV and where community-based organizations are best positioned to address the social and structural drivers of HIV in these groups. The goal of this session is to inspire new funding strategies in response to gaps created by recent dramatic changes in the HIV sector. Specifically, participants will leave with nuanced knowledge of changes taking place in the HIV sector and the effects on community-based organizations led by or working with men who have sex with men; new ideas about grant-making strategies to support men who have sex with men being adversely affected by HIV-sector-wide changes; and reinvigorated commitment to supporting human rights- and community-based advocacy in addressing the social and structural drivers of HIV among men who have sex with men.
Moderator: George Ayala (MSMGF) Panelists: Jen Kates (Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation), Vitaly Djuma (Eurasian Coalition on Male Health), Nadia Rafif (MSMGF)

REACHING MSM/TRANS POPULATIONS: DOMESTIC SESSION
Tuesday 8 December
10:45 - 12:15 pm
Co-sponsored by: Ford Foundation, Elton John AIDS Foundation, and Arcus Foundation
Get Your Black Up! Talking with black LGBTQ leaders in the HIV movement about putting bodies on the line to end HIV (title in honor of Mario Cooper)
Black led organizing has re-emerged as a dynamic force for change as the Movement for Black Lives has spread across the U.S. With the alarming rise of HIV in young black LGBTQ communities, HIV advocates are making connections between state-based violence and neglect and the HIV epidemic. They are channeling this energy into a renewed effort to make change and connect their work to the broader fight for social justice in black communities.
Foundations support innovative work around black LGBTQ leadership and advocacy in the HIV space. But is it making an impact? What can we do more of? How are black HIV leaders connecting their work with the broader Movement for Black Lives? We will hear from black LGBTQ leaders from across the spectrum about the work they think has the most impact on communities of color and the ways in which funders can support and make that work sustainable.The Ford Foundation, Elton John AIDS Foundation and Arcus Foundation are co-sponsoring this panel to provide greater clarity for funders on the diversity of ways to support black HIV activism.
Moderator: Brook Kelly-Green (Ford Foundation) Panelists: Charles Stephens (Counter Narrative Project), Kenyon Farrow (Treatment Action Group), Isaiah Wilson, (National Black Justice Coalition), and Lourdes Ashley Hunter (Trans Women of Color Collective)

RETOOLING THE RESPONSE: INTERNATIONAL SESSION
Tuesday 8 December 1:45 - 3:00 pm
Designed by: MTV Staying Alive Foundation
Media, Behaviour change, and HIV prevention
Mass media play an important role in introducing new ideas in society. Edutainment, a communication strategy that incorporates information into popular programs to educate and build emotional links to characters and storylines, aims to alter people's attitudes and ultimately promote positive behaviour change. MTV Shuga is a mass-media behaviour-change campaign targeted at young people in Nigeria. Powered by a multi-award-winning TV show, MTV Shuga tackles HIV and a range of other sexual and reproductive health issues. The campaign has become a popular and trusted brand among young Nigerians. In the past 12 months we expanded the campaign through the development of a peer education programme and festivals which resulted in 47,642 young people who voluntarily tested for HIV over a period of 4 months. Georgia Arnold, Executive Director of MTV Staying Alive, will present the impact MTV Shuga is having on behaviour change and HIV testing among young people in Nigeria and in Kenya previously. She will cite results from various studies done on the impact of MTV Shuga since it launched in Kenya in 2009 and some recent results in Nigeria. Dr Jim Lees will talk about the use of MTV Shuga in the communities in Cape Town and in teacher trainings. Lauren Marks will talk about the partnership between PEPFAR and MTV Staying Alive Foundation as an example of a private public partnership that reaches out to young people. Finally Craig McCLure will talk about UNICEF's involvement in the campaign with a particular focus on the peer education and radio programmes.
Moderator: Georgia Arnold (MTV Staying Alive, Viacom) Panelists: Dr. Jim Lees (University of the Western Cape), Lauren Marks (Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Health Diplomacy), and Craig McClure (UNICEF)

RETOOLING THE RESPONSE: DOMESTIC SESSION
Tuesday 8 December 1:45 - 3:00 pm

Transforming the HIV/AIDS Environment: A Case Study
Health care reform has brought significant new challenges and opportunities for the HIV/AIDS community. Now that health insurance is an option for many who were previously uninsured, HIV specific and related services have shifted into a new framework. This transformation of the health/medical system has impacted the service delivery environment and financing for these services. The HIV community - including providers, patients, funders and government - must continue to evolve and expand our work, searching out new partners and opportunities towards the pursuit of the Triple Aim. Fundamental to this pursuit is the development of innovative, sustainable and cost effective models of service delivery. In order to continue to reach our clients and expand services, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) needed to "re-package" how and what services we deliver. New needs for data management, research findings, and proven models, our programs and services were assessed as potential business lines to be marketed to the health insurance industry - most notably Medicaid. AFC launched CommunityLinks, a new service model to transform existing community-based HIV/AIDS and related services into business products that can be marketed to health insurance plans. We must be an active and integral part of shaping the future for our agencies and the people we serve. Perspectives will be provided by AFC, as leader of this initiative; Health Management Associates who provided consultation services; and Telligen Community Initiative, which provided important grant funding. Panelists will share major steps of the process and insights to inform funders' own thinking around supporting the development of new service models in a rapidly changing health care environment.
Speakers: Kathye Gorosh (AIDS Foundation of Chicago), Juan Monta�ez (Washington DC, Health Management Associates), and Matt McGarvey (Telligen Community Initiative)
