Background

The need to provide technical assistance regarding chemsex/sexualized drug use has been identified, especially within the Sri Lankan context, given the increased activity in the country, which has also been connected to new HIV case identification. As a technical assistance provider with expertise in this area, APCOM will support the Family Planning Association of Sri Lanka on this matter. 

Under the SKPA-2 Program, APCOM and Sri Lanka will have funding allocated under Activity 4.3 (Provide safe access to health services for key populations by reducing stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and key populations) to work on this issue. 

Consultancy purpose 

APCOM is seeking technical assistance to develop a training module for the community and for policy and other decision-makers on chemsex/sexualized drug use in Sri Lanka. This 2-day training* + 1 day community consultation will be held in-country in Sri Lanka sometime in January 2024 (Dates TBD).

Day 1: 

• Training for both government and community staff (content to be informed by TA with the support and guidance of APCOM, and where appropriate FPA and Health Equity Matters) 

Day 2: 

• Additional training for communities only.  

Day 3: 

• Community consultation and workshop session to map out and plan the additional resources and programming needed for chem sex interventions in Sri Lanka.

*Separate days are needed as communities need a safe space to discuss sensitive matters without government presence.
