How cooooooool!

A friend of mine is now a project coordinator with “Global youth partnership initiative in Ukraine” of the United Nations Population Fund!

Can you imagine, Guys! this is just another proof to the old saying that "one who seeks will find"

A bit more about UNPF -

"....GYP projects were successfully realized in Egypt, Kenya, Nairobi, Dominican Republic and in many other countries. Because of terrible situation with HIV/AIDS spread in CIS and mainly Ukraine (we hold the first place among countries of the whole Europe and even CIS by the widespread of this deadly disease, around 1 % !!! of Ukrainian population is infected etc.) it was decided to implement this project in Ukraine this year.



The main goal of it is to change brains of governmental and regional officials – when they draft and implement policies in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention a voice of youth, mainly students, is to be heard.

Secondly, it is directed to create an action plan on HIV/AIDS prevention developed by students and NGOs working in this field and to present this plan to officials.



Main partners of the project are Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Science, Ministry of Youth and Family, Center for social services for youth, State social service, maybe Kyiv municipal administration (I’m working on it).



Main activities are situation assessment in Ukraine, workshops for students, NGOs, web site development, conferences with gov. officials, research and reports presentation to media, press conferences etc".


With that said, can you think of a more coherent partner for this project than Takingitglobal?

I think this is a great challenge and an opportunity!

Good luck to you all!

MDGs are worth every exciting moment that Millennium Campaign gives us!

Warm regards,
Oleksiy!
