The Impact of the Global Fund Programmes on Hiv Prevention Policy and Services in Ukraine in 2003-2012 THE IMPACT OF THE GLOBAL FUND PROGRAMMES ON HIV PREVENTION POLICY AND SERVICES IN UKRAINE IN 2003-2012 SVETLANA MCGILL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy QUEEN MARGARET UNIVERSITY 2014 i Abstract Ukraine is home to one of the world‘s fastest growing HIV epidemic and has received significant amounts of foreign aid to help it tackle the crisis. This study is an enquiry into the implementation of the Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) programmes in Ukraine, during the second decade of this country‘s post-Soviet economic and political transition. The discussion is positioned within a broader debate on aid effectiveness. By looking at the GFATM as an aid institution whose establishment was purported to improve the aid delivery process, the thesis offers a critical insight on the GFATM aid delivery model in the context of Ukraine. The thesis investigates the conduct and practice of INGO and national NGOs in their role as Principal Recipients of GFATM grants targeting HIV prevention in Ukraine. Based on ethnographical enquiry conducted in three oblasts in Ukraine, and in capital Kyiv, the thesis aims to understand how NGOs have implemented HIV prevention services in context of state-owned health care system and to determine the perceived effects of the GF programmes on the ground. The thesis situates analysis of NGOs into a broader socio-political context of post-Soviet Ukraine and questions their role as central actors in delivering essential HIV programmes in parallel with or instead of the state, as well as the consequences for sustainability of such programmes. Using the particular experience in Ukraine, the thesis shows the influence of global funding institutions on relationships between state and civil society and altering of civil society‘s roles in aid programmes. The thesis includes a comprehensive literature analysis about the Global Fund and other donor programmes working in Ukraine in the area of HIV/AIDS. Key words: Ukraine, the Global Fund, aid effectiveness, HIV prevention, HIV services, NGOs. ii Acknowledgements The research presented herein has been conducted at the Institute for International Health and Development at Queen Margaret University. I am deeply indebted to this institution and its collective for outstanding academic environment and truly international spirit that surrounded and supported me throughout my whole stay at QMU and made this research happen. I want to commend the Institute‘s former director, Professor Barbara McPake who has also been my supervisor, for her remarkable leadership and support that enabled me to get a profound understanding of the parameters of academic debate on international health. The knowledge I gained at the Institute‘s seminars, global lecture series, and other venues allowed me to develop and expand my research skills and will be indispensable in my future work. I am grateful to Oonagh O‘Brien, the Director of Studies, who spent time over my text at different stages of its development, led me through the pathways of methodology, data collection and analysis, and assisted me until the final stages of my PhD endeavour. I am also grateful to the colleagues at the Institute who inspired me with ideas and understanding, especially to Suzanne Fustukian, Carola Eiber, Karina Kielmann and others. Special thanks go to the Institute‘s support staff, especially to Kyoko Jardine and Janice Burr, for their invaluable assistance on all matters possible during my stay at QMU.

Thank you for confiding and sharing your thoughts with me, your responses were a major source of inspiration and empowerment for me as a social scientist. In my earlier academic endeavors, I am very grateful and profoundly indebted to Professor Ruth Pearson who opened the world of international development studies to me, first as a course supervisor at the University of East Anglia in Norwich in 1992, and later as my Master‘s dissertation supervisor at the University of Leeds iii in 2001-2002, whose personal and professional support gave me an impetus to learn and develop, and shaped my thinking. And last but not least, thanks go to my beloved son Tikhon and husband Olin, who deserve a special praise for their true endurance, sparkling joy and warmest care and love they surrounded me with during my busy times of writing a thesis and elsewhere. And I can never thank enough my parents, Vladimir and Valentina, whose love brought me into this world, and who have always been there for me, whom I greatly missed when doing research in Scotland. Big thanks for encouragement and care to my sister Ira and her family. My prayers and best wishes go to my compatriots, the people of Ukraine, who now are going through a very difficult time in their history. To them, and to the future of their children, I dedicate this work. iv List of terms and abbreviations1 Activities - services the intervention provides to accomplish its objectives.

  • About the International Renaissance Foundation
    2006 About the International Renaissance Foundation An open society is a society based on the recognition of the fact that no one has a monopoly on the truth, that diff erent people have diff erent views and interests, that good arguments should be heard by society and that there is a need for institutions open to striving toward perfection, defending the rights of all peo- ple and giving them a chance to live together in peace and accord. Th e term “open society” was introduced by the philosopher Karl Popper in his book “Th e Open Society and Its Enemies” published in 1945. Th e main traits of an open society include the rule of law, a democratically elected government, institutions of civil society and protection of minority rights. Th e International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) has been active since 1990. It is an integral part of the Open Society In- stitute foundation network established by George Soros and incorporates national and regional foundations in more than thirty countries around the world, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union. Th e Founda- tion sees its mission in the fi nancial and institutional promotion of the building of an open democratic society in Ukraine by supporting civil initiatives vital for its development. Th e funds operated by IRF are mainly granted by its founder George Soros. Th e Foundation also relies on international donors and various Ukrainian and foreign organizations and individuals. Both the transparency of the Foundation’s spon- sorship and charitable activities and an understanding of its importance contribute to funds granted by IRF for building an open, democratic society being distributed by the society’s members represented in IRF’s Executive Board and Program Boards themselves.

    Stanislav Byshok Alexey Kochetkov NEONAZIS & EUROMAIDAN From democracy to dictatorship [Second edition] 2014 Stanislav Byshok, Alexey Kochetkov NEONAZIS & EUROMAIDAN. From democracy to dictator- ship. [Second edi on]. “Whoever is not jumping is a Moskal” is a chant that women and men of diff erent ages who took to Kiev Independence Square in win- ter 2013-2014 repeated trying to get warm. They kept jumping and laughing, for nobody in the ‘brave new world’ of the Ukrainian revo- lu on under Stepan Bandera’s banner fancied gaining the character of a staunch enemy of Ukrainian statehood. Mass demonstra ons of “angry ci zens” in Ukraine had objec ve reasons. This was a protest against ineff ec ve and corrupt govern- ment, against police and bureaucra c abuse of power, against unclear and dead-end policies of the President and the Government. All na onal libera on movements use the popular ideas and po- li cal sen ments that dominate the society as their posi ve mani- festo. Thus, exclusively le -wing ideologies were mainstream in the Russian Empire in 1917, radical Islamism was most popular in Arab countries during the Arab spring of 2012, whereas na onalism, also radical, turned mainstream in the Ukraine of 2013-2014. The book describes the development of Ukraine’s na onal- ist groups since 1991 un l present day. It focuses on the history of the parliamentary right-wing radical Svoboda party and the non- parliamentary Right Sector movement. The authors study the ideol- ogy, psychology and methods of poli cal struggle of these structures.

    UDC 327:355.1(1-071)(477) JEL code Z 18 No part of the book may be copied or reproduced without citing the source In this multi-authored monograph the scholars of the National Institute for Strategic Studies of Ukraine present an unprecedented study of the phenomenon of the world hybrid war, which manifested itself in the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The nature of the hybrid war was analyzed in the context of the global security crisis and was studied as a new type of global confrontation. This monograph is a complex analysis of the causes and preconditions of the Russian aggression against Ukraine with respect to the strategic purposes and special aspects of conduct in various dimensions including military, political, economic, social, humanitarian, and informational. This monograph also presents research of the local success of our country in resisting the hostile plans of the Russian Federation in certain areas.

The reformation of international security institutions and attainment of balance of power in the new hybrid reality are also addressed in the monograph. This book is meant for politicians, political analysts, senior government officials and scientists in the field of security studies. The research results would also be interesting for academia, representatives of civil society, as well as patriotic and responsible citizens.
