The U.S. President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Tanzania (PEPFAR) through the Ambassador’s Fund
for HIV/AIDS Relief (AFHR) is pleased to announce an open competition for
organizations to submit applications to carry out Community-Led Monitoring
(CLM) activities.
Community-led monitoring is a process initiated and implemented by
local community-based organizations and other civil society groups that gathers
quantitative and/or qualitative data about HIV services. The focus is on
getting input from recipients of HIV services in a routine and systematic
manner that will translate into action and change. CLM is central to PEPFAR’s
client centered approach because it puts the needs and voices of communities at
the center of the HIV response.
