Organisation: APCOM Foundation

Title : Senior Campaigns Coordinator

Date: 30 June 2017 - 21 July 2017

BACKGROUND

Founded in 2007, APCOM is a coalition of members – governments, UN partners, non-profits and community based organisations – from Asia and the Pacific. We represent a diverse range of interests working together to advocate on, highlight and prioritise HIV issues that affect the lives of gay men, men who have sex with men (MSM) and persons with diverse sexual and gender expressions, including their rights, health and wellbeing.

APCOM is registered as a Foundation in Thailand and has its Secretariat based in Bangkok which carries out the work of APCOM as per our current 2014-2019 Strategic Plan. The plan has four distinct strategic results areas:

1. Advocacy for sexual health services for our communities, aimed at engaging health policy makers, programme planned and services to scale up their service delivery.
2. Advocacy for an enabling environment for sexual health and support services aimed at pushing national governments and policy makers to establish MSM and transgender friendly legal environments, to ensure that health services are accessible.
3. Gathering, generating and sharing strategic information for advocacy, to ensure community and development partners have access to relevant information to generate evidence-based work.
4. Building a cadre of advocates at all levels, to ensure there is support for current community advocates and to support the development of new emerging leaders.
