Voicing Community Interests in the Global Fund

This handbook aims to facilitate the active involvement of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Global Fund/Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Country Coordination Mechanism (GFATM CCM). It outlines basic values and principles, providing practical information and tools which can be adapted to national contexts. It stresses the ongoing importance of PLHIV led communication, coordination and consultation, so that people most affected by the three diseases can continually make their voices heard and weigh in on important issues. The ultimate goal of PLHIV representation on CCMs is to ensure that GFATM financed programs are efficient, impactful and sustainable.
