HLSP has a strong track record in Russia and the
former USSR
HLSP has worked extensively in Russia for the past ten years,
including a number of long-term projects focusing on the health and
social sectors and more recently on HIV and TB. We have worked at
federal and regional levels, assisted national and sub-national
governments in Russia and the Former Soviet Union in health sector
reform and advised the government on the development of new models
for primary care provision.
HLSP provides projects with specific management training and
support to the local project coordinator, as well as general backup
and support to the project team. In all work we focus on the
overall quality assurance of the project.
Some of our recent project experience includes:
- In Russia, HLSP is working on a project as part of the Nizhny
Novgorod/UK DFID Partnership Programme addressing HIV and AIDS,
which aims to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life in the
region by 50%. We will provide technical assistance to the Oblast
Administration to develop and implement cohesive, cross-sectoral
policies and programmes for the cost-effective and sustainable
prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in the region.
- The Health and Social Partnerships Scheme, which supported over
58 partnerships between UK NGOs and the health and social sector in
Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus
- In Ukraine, HLSP provided support on an EC project to build
capacity of local NGOs involved in HIV and AIDS prevention efforts
with high risk populations. Supporting the Oblast Youth Prevention
Programme Demonstration Project, HLSP helped to ensure that
services and programmes were based on examples of good practice
equipping young people, with knowledge, awareness and skills for
HIV prevention.
