CLM funds are meant for activities that are community-driven and serve the community at large where they are being funded. Not-for-profit organizations led by KP community members themselves or organizations who are KP-competent, including think tanks, civil society or non-governmental organizations, and community-based organizations that are currently not receiving PEPFAR funding to deliver to health services are eligible to apply. Organizations currently funded by PEPFAR to deliver health services either in the community or at the health facility are excluded.

Is this a realistic fit?

What the grant funds

Program Description and Objectives U.S. Embassy Gaborone through the PEPFAR Botswana Coordination Office (PEPFAR/PCO) is pleased to announce an open competition for local key population (KP)-led civil society organizations (CSOs) and KP-led non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to submit applications to carry out a Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) program. The CLM program is funded through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief in Botswana (PEPFAR/Botswana) in support of the Government of Botswana’s (GoB) effort to achieve HIV epidemic control through the implementation of evidence-based and client-centered interventions to accelerate progress in HIV prevention, care and treatment, and ultimately, save lives. This NOFO is specific to PEPFAR monitoring health services for HIV key populations (KP), which in the Botswana context include gay and other men who have sex with men (MSM), people who inject drugs (PWID), sex workers and both male and female-identifying transgender persons. PEPFAR recognizes the importance of engaging with communities in the development and implementation of effective health services. HIV services for KPs in Botswana continue to face the challenge of finding those KPs living with HIV and linking and retaining patients on life-long ART. Collaboration with communities and clients is critical to ensure that health services in the facilities and communities are accessible and of high quality. The overall goal of the CLM program is to ensure the availability, access to, and delivery of quality health and HIV services. The CLM program’s main objective is to provide a direct feedback mechanism to clients and beneficiaries of these services throughout the health service delivery experience to diagnose persistent issues and barriers to service uptake. The expectation is that this feedback loop will help identify gaps and workable solutions that are driven by the community to overcome them. Currently, the PEPFAR CLM program provides grants to three local CSOs who have established, trained, and supported networks of clients and beneficiary groups to monitor and address persistent problems and barriers to effective, client-centered HIV and health services. All three partners have recruited representative beneficiaries from groups including people living with HIV, people living with disabilities, youth groups that include adolescent girls and young women, key populations, DREAMS ambassadors, PrEP ambassadors, and ART champions.
