Support for Communities and Civil Society Engagement in the ACT Accelerator (ACT-A)

Response from ACT-A leadership:


Sign on and show your support for Communities and Civil Society’s principles for engagement in the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A).

The Background:

A letter was sent on 5 June 2020 to the leadership of Global Health Institutes, calling for a set of principles for community and civil society representation within the ACT-A.

Civil society and communities must be meaningfully involved and enabled to effectively represent their constituencies in the development and governance at every level of the ACT-A including, but not limited to the ACT-A Facilitation Group and across the coordination mechanisms for the three pillars to ensure equitable access.

The letter was signed by civil society and community representatives on the boards of the Global Fund, Unitaid and Gavi, and as the Civil Society Engagement Mechanism of UHC2030 (CSEM).

You can find a copy of the letter including the full set of principles, signatories, and addressees here:

The Ask:

We need your support and are asking you to add your voice to those that have signed the letter. Please fill out the form below and help strengthen the call for the principles laid out in the letter.

Show your support!
