“The Community, Rights and Gender Strategic Initiative: Engaged Communities, Effective Grants. June 2020 Update”A new Global Fund publication
A new Global Fund publication about CRG SI: “The Community, Rights and Gender Strategic Initiative: Engaged Communities, Effective Grants. June 2020 Update” provides an update of 2020.
This year countries are developing funding requests for the largest-ever Global Fund allocation cycle. 2020 also marks a key checkpoint for progress against the three diseases, with the culmination of the UNAIDS Fast-Track Commitments, the Stop TB Partnership’s Global Plan to End TB, and the RBM Partnership Strategic Plan. At the same time, the responses to the three diseases are confronted with unprecedented and unforeseen challenges from COVID-19. Activated communities are essential for designing and delivering effective and equitable programs, monitoring their performance, and ensuring rights and gender equality are promoted and protected. Amid the transition to a new funding cycle, the Global Fund Strategy Committee approved $2.2 million in bridge funding so that civil society and communities are supported to remain engaged throughout 2020. The main focus this year is to ensure civil society and communities play a meaningful role in shaping funding requests and the design of programs for the 2020-2022 cycle. The CRG SI is also striving to mitigate the effects that COVID-19 is having on engagement by supporting innovative, flexible, and community-led solutions.
