APCASO, through the BACKUP Health Project, supported civil society (CS) and key population (KP) networks in four countries in Asia-Pacific, namely Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea; to engage more effectively in their respective Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) to influence Global Fund grant making, management, and implementation. Through on-site and ongoing technical assistance and mentoring support to in-country CS and KP network partners in the areas of Community, Rights, and Gender (CRG), CCM engagement plan development and implementation, and, in the case of Nepal and Papua New Guinea, navigation of the CCM evolution process. APCASO also organised learning visits and continuous dialogues with other stakeholders to strengthen multisectoral partnership. This blog provides a summary of the project that concluded early this year. As a regional network, APCASO leveraged its position and role as a regional facilitator towards cross-learning exchange, community systems strengthening, and broadening the engagement and activism of partners across four countries beyond HIV.
