PEPFAR Small Grants Program POL/ECON, U.S. Embassy Yaounde

The U.S. Embassy in Yaounde-Cameroon, Political and Economic Section is seeking proposals for projects that support Community-led Monitoring (CLM) activities to be implemented in close collaboration with local civil society organizations (CSOs) and the Government of Cameroon. CLM is key to ensuring availability, access to, and delivery of quality HIV care and services. CLM will empower patients and communities to seek out this information, increase health literacy, expand engagement with health service delivery, support demand creation, and demand accountability from the health system to improve and deliver these services. The collective objective of CLM is to develop a shared understanding of the enablers and barriers to access HIV services (HIV prevention, testing, linkage, treatment retention, VL) in a manner that is productive, collaborative, respectful, and solutions oriented. The program seeks to encourage affected communities to be self-reliant and undertake similar activities on their own in the future. Each proposal will target only one of the four PEPFAR covered Zones in Cameroon.
