Now is an opportune time to reflect on community engagement in C19RM in 2021, take stock of challenges and lessons learned, and prepare for what lies ahead. The second global civil society roundtable event – Rain or Shine II – will bring together civil society and community groups from across the different countries where the Global Fund invests to share experiences and strategize for the future. 

Objectives

  1. Share experiences and take stock of lessons learned from community engagement in C19RM funding request development in 2021.
  2. Discuss how civil society and community groups can remain engaged throughout C19RM grant implementation, including what kinds of technical support are available for this. 
  3. Strategize about how to ensure civil society and community groups are effective during country dialogue for the 2023-2025 allocation period (NFM4), based on learning from C91RM.  
  4. Continue to define civil society’s comparative advantage in pandemic preparedness and response, in line with the Global Fund’s new strategy for 2023-2028.
