Belarus
Health of migrants has been put in the spotlight by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Belarus, the lack of reliable and gender-disaggregated data on health of migrants has prevented quality analysis to promote national policy and programming that support migrants' access to health services. The country also lacks a multisectoral platform to address migration health issues including communicable diseases. The project aims to support the Government of Belarus in aligning migration health policies and programmes with empirical data available and best international experiences, particularly focusing on the prevention of communicable diseases, including tuberculosis, hepatitis, HIV, and COVID-19, through a multisectoral and gender-sensitive approach. To contribute to the achievement of the project objective, the project will generate evidence on migrants' health needs related to communicable diseases, conduct multisectoral capacity building activities for relevant national authorities, and promote the inclusion of migrants into national vaccination plans including for COVID-19 vaccination.
