Community-Led Monitoring (CLM)

Description

1) Objective

PEPFAR Small Grants recognizes the importance of engaging with communities in the development and implementation of HIV programming. PEPFAR will support at least one community-led monitoring initiative in each of Eswatini’s 4 regions. PEPFAR is also supporting a national CLM steering committee in which the awardee organization will participate. In partnership with PEPFAR, the Ministry of Health, NERCHA, will conduct quarterly reviews of client feedback collected from all stakeholders (including CLM Small Grant recipients) to help the national health institutions and PEPFAR programs diagnose and pinpoint persistent problems, challenges, and barriers with service uptake of HIV treatment services.

To facilitate and ensure all regions and client constituencies are represented, PEPFAR is seeking community organizations from each region, and community groups with high unmet needs, to collect feedback on client experiences.

2) Eligibility

Eligible are Registered local community-based organizations and other civil society groups, networks of key populations (KP), people living with HIV (PLHIV), people with disabilities, and other affected groups or community entities that gather quantitative and qualitative data about HIV services and whose mission and activities focus on HIV programming.

4) Budget

Average SSH grants are $15,000 to $25,000 per project.
