EECA: Civil Society Consultation to develop the Global Fund’s strategy for 2017-2021 took place
Suggestions and a strategy guiding relevant advocacy interventions for key priority issues to be considered by the Global Fund’s new Strategy have been developed.
On July 12-13, 2015, a Civil Society Consultation to develop the
Global Fund’s strategy for 2017-2021 took place in
Chisinau, Moldova. It was organized by the Communities
Delegation on the Board of The Global Fund with support from the
Eurasian Harm Reduction Network. The Consultation brought
together representatives of regional networks such as EHRN,
ECUO, ECOM, ENPUD, EWNA, SWAN, TBEC, ITPCru, as well as members
of several Delegations on the Board of the Global Fund
(including the Communities Delegation, the Developed and
Developing Country NGO Delegations and the EECA Delegation) in
order to develop suggestions and a strategy guiding relevant
advocacy interventions for key priority issues that must be
considered by the Global Fund’s new Strategy. The
Consultation was held in advance of the Global Fund’s 3d
Partnership Forum.
The meeting resulted in a
document
summarizing key topics in the context of the fight against HIV
and TB in EECA, as well as the participants’ positions on
a number of issues for each topic that according to the
participants (representatives of civil society and communities
in EECA) should be reflected in the Global Fund’s new
Strategy for 2017-2021.
It is crucial that
representatives of civil society and vulnerable groups that will
participate in various meetings to discuss the Global
Fund’s new Strategy (these meetings will be taking place
in the coming months in various regions and countries) be aware
of these key positions of our region’s civil society
regarding the Global Fund’s Strategy, and could use those
positions when presenting and participating in working groups,
meetings, etc.
On September 3-4, the Global
Fund’s 3d Partnership Forum will take place in Buenos
Aires. The Forum will discuss the Global Fund’s new
Strategy, and EECA representatives will be in attendance. It is
planned that based on the key topics and positions provided in
this document, regional networks will prepare for the
Partnership Forum a Positioning Document on the Global
Fund’s new Strategy.
