6 Programme Management and Organizational Capacity-building Engagement with non-state organizations and institutions This includes: • other CBOs/NGOs or community-led organizations of sex workers • religious and other community groups • media • other CBOs/NGOs working on related areas (social entitlements, rights, violence, health, etc.). Capacity-building helps sex worker organizations analyse the significance of socially powerful groups or institutions, such as religious groups and the media, and learn how to engage and influence them. Examples include changing a church’s focus from condemning sex work to respect for people with HIV, or encouraging newspapers to report positively and accurately about sex workers’ efforts to reduce HIV infection. Box 6.10 Case example: Sex worker networks Once sex worker collectives form, they can integrate with regional, national and global sex worker networks. For example, Karnataka Health Promotion Trust in India uses a “federal” model of governance in which local sex worker collectives form sub-district, district and state committees to increase the negotiating power of sex worker collectives at multiple levels. The Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers connects sex worker projects from across the entire region. The Global Network of Sex Work Projects has representation from sex worker organizations across the world. 6.8 Resources and further reading Strategic planning and programme management 1.
