EMPHASIS is a 5-year initiative funded by the Big Lottery Fund, UK to reduce the vulnerability of mobile populations in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal to HIV/AIDS. It aims to deliver interventions along mobility routes to influence policies relating to safe mobility. High poverty, unemployment, instability, and economic opportunities drive mobility between the countries. Mobility increases HIV risk due to isolation, exploitation, and limited access to services. EMPHASIS will test cross-border service models, build knowledge of mobile populations, build partner capacity, and influence policies and attitudes across the two main routes: Bangladesh to Kolkata, India and Nepal to Delhi, India.
Dr. Naeem Hassan Saleem MPH,MSc conducted a cross-sectional survey in 2007 of 6,000 female sex workers, male sex workers, and injecting drug users across five major cities in Punjab, Pakistan. Behavioral questionnaires and dried blood spot samples were collected using multistage cluster sampling and respondent driven sampling. The serological results found an HIV prevalence of 2.5% among male sex workers in one city, but none among female sex workers in the five cities. The behavioral results showed that 40% of injecting drug users shared injection paraphernalia and there were sexual networks between the different high risk groups. The conclusion was that Punjab has a concentrated HIV epidemic among injecting drug users,

3) Examples of successful "One UN" initiatives are provided, along with structures that helped or hindered coordination and lessons learned.
The document discusses how health sector reforms since the 1980s have negatively impacted women's access to sexual and reproductive health services. Health sector reforms promoted privatization and market-based mechanisms in healthcare, treating health as a commodity rather than a right. This has led to decreased access to services for the poor, especially women. Women often bear the burden of informal, unpaid care work when formal health services are reduced. The document calls for governments to prioritize quality universal healthcare, including women's sexual and reproductive needs, through increased funding and more gender-sensitive policies.

The EMPHASIS program is a 5-year initiative funded by the Big Lottery Fund, UK, that aims to reduce the vulnerability of key mobile populations to HIV/AIDS along mobility routes between Bangladesh/India and Nepal/India. The program will deliver interventions at source, transit, and destination points and generate evidence to influence regional policies relating to safe mobility. Key objectives include demonstrating effective models for HIV prevention, care, and support for mobile populations and enhancing partners' capacity. The program will work in source areas in Nepal and Bangladesh, transit areas along the borders, and destination areas in major Indian cities. Initial activities include mapping populations, stakeholder analyses, and building common understanding among partners.

The EMPHASIS program aims to reduce vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among mobile populations in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. It will deliver targeted interventions along two mobility routes: Bangladesh/India and Nepal/India. The first year will focus on building knowledge about mobile populations and their vulnerabilities. Key processes so far include staff recruitment, workshops to develop a common understanding among partners, and contracting five NGO partners to deliver services and conduct mapping exercises in source, transit, and destination areas along the mobility routes.
The EMPHASIS program aims to reduce vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among mobile populations in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal through focused interventions. It is a 5-year initiative funded by the Big Lottery Fund of the UK. The program will work along two mobility routes - Bangladesh/India and Nepal/India - at source, transit, and destination points to deliver services and influence policies related to safe mobility. Initial activities have included staff recruitment, partner selection, mapping exercises to understand population flows and vulnerabilities, and overcoming communication challenges across countries. Estimates indicate around 100,000 Nepalis cross into India annually through targeted transit points, with around 11,000 going to Delhi and 8,500 to Mumbai.
The document provides an overview of the EMPHASIS program, which aims to reduce vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among mobile populations in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. It discusses the high levels of mobility between the countries due to factors like poverty and economic opportunities. This mobility increases vulnerability to HIV through risks like unsafe sex, exploitation, and lack of access to services. The program will deliver interventions along key mobility routes and influence policies. It will work in source, transit, and destination areas and partner with NGOs. Initial activities included staff recruitment, workshops to build common understanding, and NGO partner contracting and mapping activities.
The document summarizes the EMPHASIS project, a regional project run by CARE India across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh aimed at enhancing mobile populations' access to HIV/AIDS information and services. It will take a source-transit-destination link model approach over five years starting in August 2009, providing services across the mobility continuum. Key activities include mapping mobile populations, developing communication tools like an online platform, and administering finances and partnerships with sub-grantees across the three countries.
The document provides an update on the EMPHASIS program for a steering committee. It summarizes activities in the first year, including staff recruitment, workshops to build common understanding, mapping activities with NGO partners, and snapshots from field visits. Key processes included establishing common understanding across countries, contracting NGO partners, and overcoming communication divides. Financial status and milestones for the first year in India are also outlined. The discussion section proposes including partner program representatives, establishing source-transit-destination agreements, ensuring regionalism through sharing, and addressing concerns about the neutrality of the secretariat location.
The document outlines different knowledge management processes including communication methods like chat, discussion forums, blogs, and group work. It also includes summarizing discussions, consolidating replies, and creating collaborative documents, reports, guidelines and budgets. Knowledge assets and resources such as documents, websites and organizations are organized into archives.
The document provides excerpts from various religious texts that discuss themes of light, knowledge, and moving from darkness to light or ignorance to enlightenment. The excerpts are from Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh scriptures and texts. They discuss concepts like seeking knowledge and enlightenment, following the path of righteousness, and God or divine figures guiding believers from darkness to light.
The document discusses knowledge management in the context of an EMPHASIS project. It describes the environment as complex with regional and matrix structures. Communities of practice are discussed as informal networks for sharing ideas. Different knowledge management network structures are presented, and challenges around costs, quality, and innovation are noted. Sustaining change through knowledge is emphasized, with knowledge seen as the most important resource.
The document describes a targeted intervention model used between 2010-2014. It involved community goals being achieved through UNIFEM-ICOE projects with interested community members. Activities included targeted intervention activities from 2011-2013 and CLCP activities in 2012. Strategies aimed to empower vulnerable groups and address risks through interventions and increasing social norms. Sustainability involved the targeted intervention program continuing activities till the end line in 2014 while the mobility competence process continued after with community members pursuing their dreams.
