LINKAGES Key Population Program Implementation Guide

LINKAGES Key Populations Program Implementation Guide
The LINKAGES project (Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV), supported by the US President’s Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), aims to accelerate the ability of partner governments, key population-led civil-society organizations, and private-sector providers to plan, deliver, and optimize comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment services at scale that reduce HIV transmission among key populations and extend life for those who are HIV positive. LINKAGES has established a global Program Acceleration Initiative that will use its existing partnerships to accelerate and strengthen the delivery of the comprehensive package of services at scale. This implementation guide is part of the initiative. It sets out the steps that programs can take to deliver services to key populations effectively and quickly.

The guide is also available in French and Portuguese.
