On 3 February 2017, Alliance for Public Health officially presented the project “Fast-track TB/HIV responses for key populations in EECA cities” supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Ukraine will be represented in this project by Odesa, where the regional project was announced today. The goal of the project is to develop sustainable response to the HIV/TB epidemics in key populations at the level of Odesa, which will significantly contribute to achieving the 90-90-90 targets in key populations. Gennadiy Trukhanov, the mayor of Odesa, assured that he supports the initiative and is ready for future cooperation. It is expected that the project will help to enhance the dynamics towards reducing AIDS and TB mortality in Odesa and ensure sustainable response to the epidemics at the city level.  Launch of the project was announced at the meeting of a wide range of civil society organizations and relevant agencies of the city chaired by the mayor. Andriy Klepikov, executive director of Alliance, expressed his sincere gratitude to the city administration for their commitment to improving the health of Odesa residents. He said, “We hope that such attitude will both set the tone for this regional initiative and will become an example for the mayors of other Ukrainian cities”.
