An Analysis of Major HIV Donor Investments: Targeting Men who have Sex with Men and Transgender People in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

In low- and middle-income countries, substantial resources for the AIDS response come from the largest bilateral, multilateral, and private philanthropic donors and from a country’s contribution to addressing its own epidemic. There is no reliable indication of what overall proportion of these resources ultimately reaches men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people.

Our objective was to examine major donor investments targeted at these two groups in 2009, but we also recorded relevant information from other years (2008, 2010, and 2011) when available.
