Consequently, the All-Ukrainian Network provided key input in the country's Global Fund application, which includes 60% of funds for treatment. It took part in a UN initiative to reduce drug prices resulting in a reduction of prices by some pharmaceutical companies. The Network also received a grant of US$ 50,000 to purchase ARVs for people without access through governmental programmes. It works with the private sector, state government, and international organizations.

With financial help from the Global Fund, the Ministry of Health is preparing to put 4,000 HIV-positive people on ARV treatment by the end of 2003. For reference, less than 100 people out of the estimated 300,000 PLWHA in Ukraine received such treatment in 2002. Additionally, in cooperation with the Ministry, the All-Ukrainian Network has recently started a programme of treatment education and adherence support for people preparing to initiate ARV treatment. In the framework of this project called "Complex Socio-Psychological Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS with Emphasis on HAART Adherence" which runs from November 2003 to November 2004, social workers will be trained to support people using antiretroviral drugs, their families and close friends. Also peer support programmes and self-help groups will be developed, as well as trainings and seminars for informative, educational and explanatory work with clients.
