THE GLOBAL FUND’S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME: Case Study of the Kyrgyz Republic
At the end of 2021, the leaders of civil society organisations in the Kyrgyz Republic initiated a request for technical assistance (TA) available under the Global Fund’s Strategic Initiative on Community Engagement (formerly known as the Community, Rights and Gender (CRG) Strategic Initiative) to ensure equitable representation of the interests of KP representatives in the Committee to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and to create the conditions for the meaningful participation of KPs and their engagement in planning and supervision of Global Fund investments. Technical assistance was implemented during 2021-2022 at the request of the Alliance of Legal Entities ‘Association of Harm Reduction Programmes “Partner Network” of the Kyrgyz Republic’ through the technical assistance provider, TB European Coalition (TBEC).
As a result of TA provision with the budget of more than $50,000, the expansion in KP representation on the Committee has been documented, as well as the transparent and open election of the committee members/alternates from the civil sector.
