Independent Multi-country Review of Community Engagement in Grant Making & Implementation Processes
Publisher: MSMGF
Published by MSMGF (The Global Forum on MSM & HIV), this review synthesizes good practices and proposes a series of strategic actions for the Global Fund in efforts to expand and enhance meaningful community engagement in all phases of its grants.
Diseases like HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria disproportionately affect certain groups as a result of social and economic inequities that persist worldwide. These groups are often criminalized and experience human rights abuses, seriously compromising their access to health services. HIV disproportionately affects men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers, and people who use drugs, whereas TB can affect miners and healthcare workers. Communities that are disproportionately affected by diseases should be invited and supported to actively engage with Global Fund processes.
