Join us in this Webinar to discuss findings of the GF grant Absorption Capacity study conducted by Community Rights and Gender Strategic Initiative Anglophone Africa Platform hosted by EANNASO to improve community engagement in effective Global Fund Implementation.
Background
In 2016, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Board approved a $15 million Strategic Initiative to provide technical assistance and capacity building to community and civil society organizations. The resulting Community, Rights and Gender (CRG) strategic Initiative has worked to ensure that technically sound interventions to address human rights, gender equality and community systems strengthening are included in Global Fund concept notes as well as in interventions to meaningfully engage affected communities throughout the grant cycle.
Overall objective of the study
The overall objective of the project is twofold;
- To enhance and scale up the reach and effectiveness of the Anglophone Africa CS and CG dialogue platform in discussing and responding to the needs of the CS and CG in overall GF grant implementation; addressing bottlenecks and emerging issues across grant cycle.
- To develop guidance and tools/resources for RSSH and meaningful community engagement. this will endeavour to provide a framework from which implementers can use, based on their contexts, to; 1) design and include effective RSSH intervention into GF funding requests, and 2) ensure affected communities play an active in GF grant design, implementation and monitoring, as well as true and meaningful engagement of communities in national dialogues on GF programs.
