In January of 2019, the landscape of support for many people living with or affected by HIV in Kyrgyzstan had changed radically. The middle-income country, already facing declining donor funding for the HIV response, had the services of their three community-led, non-governmental organisations(NGOs) put to an end.

Building on the regional civil society roundtables to date, a global civil society roundtable is planned for 5 November 2020 to consolidate learning on meaningful community engagement in Global Fund-related processes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The mission of the Communities Delegation is to bring the voices and issues of people living with HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria to the deliberations of the Global Fund Board and its committees, and through this, to ensure greater and sustained impact of the Global Fund at the community level.

The Global Fund is preparing to host its 6th Partnership Forums, to be held virtually in 2021 and is currently seeking its partners’ support to identify and nominate potential participants.

The report contains an overview of the results and recommendations from the HIV allocative efficiency studies conducted by the World Bank and partner agencies in 11 countries in the EECA region: Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, North Macedonia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
