The goal of the Initiative is to contribute to the scale up of effective, comprehensive and rights-based HIV responses for MSM and transgender persons in the six cities: Bangkok (Thailand), Chengdu (China), Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) (Viet Nam), Jakarta (Indonesia), Manila (Philippines) and Yangon (Myanmar).

This report provides an outline of the rationale and approach taken by the MSM and TG Multi-City HIV Initiative, including key issues and lessons emerging from the city scans and a summary of the key inputs at the Action Planning Meeting in Hong Kong. Most importantly, the report contains the action plans developed by each of the cities and details of how regional partners will support implementation of these plans.
