PEPFAR Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) Grant

The U.S. Embassy Addis Ababa /PEPFAR Ethiopia Coordination Office the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out PEPFAR Community Led Monitoring Program. The primary goal of the Community Led Monitoring (CLM) program is to assist healthcare institutions and providers in identifying and addressing emerging or persistent issues, challenges, and barriers related to the delivery, uptake, and accessibility of HIV services at community and facility levels. Through continuous monitoring and advocacy efforts, CLM aims to enhance the quality-of-service delivery and improve client outcomes by identifying data driven solutions that can overcome obstacles and ensure beneficiaries have access to and receive optimal client-centered HIV services. The CLM initiative plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability, accessibility, and delivery of high-quality HIV care and services. By empowering clients and communities to actively seek out information, enhancing their health literacy, promoting engagement with health service delivery, supporting demand creation, advocacy for necessary change and demanding accountability from the health system, CLM aims to improve the overall quality of these services. The CLM initiative is a vital component in the ongoing efforts to address HIV-related challenges and improve the delivery of client centered HIV services. By leveraging data-driven solutions and fostering community engagement, CLM aims to enhance the quality of care and support provided to individuals affected by HIV and sustain the response. Participants and Audiences: The PEPFAR Coordination Office is currently inviting proposals from registered local or national community-based organizations, civil society groups, networks of key populations (KP), networks and associations of people living with HIV (PLHIV), women-led civil society 1 organizations, youth-led civil society organizations, and other affected groups or community entities that work on health, HIV program, gather quantitative and qualitative data on HIV services and advocate for necessary policy and program changes.
