The goal of RiskNet2, a project operated by technical lead PSI with partner Abt Associates, was to contribute to a reduction in HIV and STI (sexually transmitted infection) transmission and improve sexual health in select countries in Southeast Europe. This goal was achieved through the synergistic activities of technical and organizational capacity building. Technical capacity building increased the reach and effectiveness of interventions of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that had expertise working with most at-risk populations (MARPs). While at the same time, organizational capacity building activities, new to the project in its second and final phase, contributed to the sustainability of the participating NGOs by supporting organizational development and providing management skills training in areas to enhance the organizations’ ability to secure stable, long-term funding. This final report summarizes the project's achievements, lessons learned, and conclusions.
