Blue Diamond Society

Blue Diamond Society is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, located in Dhumbarahi, Kathmandu, Nepal. The organization focuses on HIV prevention, care, support, and treatment services for key populations, including men who have sex with men, male sex workers, transgender people, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. As a registered entity in the U.S. federal government's system, Blue Diamond Society has demonstrated its capacity to work on international health initiatives and collaborate with U.S. government-funded programs.

Through federal grant awards, Blue Diamond Society has been a critical partner in implementing HIV-related health programs in Nepal. The organization has received a significant $2,200,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program, which aims to save lives and control the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Blue Diamond Society has worked as both a prime and sub-grantee with organizations like Family Health International, Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc., and Heluna Health. Their specific roles have included maintaining local Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals, participating in planning and implementation discussions, conducting staff training, recruiting and interviewing participants (particularly trans women), overseeing data management, and assisting in data analyses and dissemination. The organization operates across 22 districts in Nepal, providing targeted HIV prevention, care, support, and treatment services to vulnerable populations, with grant award periods ranging from 2020 to 2026.
