The SCALE Initiative is a UNDP-PEPFAR partnership that aims to drive progress on the 10-10-10 targets for and with key populations in PEPFAR-funded countries by 2025. The two-year initiative will scale key population-led approaches to counter punitive and discriminatory laws and policies and HIV-related criminalization through (i) Identifying what works; (ii) Building, scaling, and amplifying good practices; and (iii) Investing in Key population communities.
Under its SCALE Initiative, UNDP will support key population-led organizations by providing Low-Value ‘Law & Access’ grants in selected 17 countries during the initiative’s first year. The grants will be used to advance and reinforce strategies, tactics, and approaches undertaken by key-population-led organizations to counter discriminatory and punitive laws, policies, and practices in their respective countries. In Cameroon, UNDP provided grants to three key population led organizations to support key population-led organizations to advance and reinforce strategies, tactics, and approaches to counter discriminatory and punitive laws, policies, and practices.
