With a primary focus on males who have sex with males (MSM), Naz Foundation International’s mission is to empower socially excluded and disadvantaged males to secure for themselves, social justice, equity, health and well-being through technical, institutional and financial support. NFI runs regional MSM self-help programmes and training centres. It also develops, coordinates and institutes a range of reseach studies into issues that affect MSM, masculinities and male sexualities and works with donors, international, national and local goverment and non-govermental institutions and agencies to advocate on MSM sexual health and human rights concerns, particularly in regards to those who are socially excluded and stigmatised.
