Working Together

Promoting Leadership

CSAT aims to increase the influence of community sector organizations to hold governments and multilateral organizations to account for policies and processes designed by the Global Fund but whose implementation is not supported, particularly around the participation of key affected populations in AIDS policies.

 CSAT directly advocates- and supports partners and community leaders to advocate- at the regional and global levels with key policy and decision makers, technical support providers and funders to guarantee that the technical support needs of civil society organizations to be better engaged and meaningfully involved in Global Fund processes are identified and properly addressed. 

 The key issues that CSAT advocates for include:

  • Expanded availability of more appropriate technical support.
  • The inclusion of marginalized and key affected population groups in all aspects of Global Fund grants from proposal development to implementation to increase and improve accountability.
  • More support to community organizations representing key affected populations to help them become recipients of Global Fund grants and become fully engaged in program development, implementation and monitoring and evaluation.
  • Improvements in policies, investments, programs and services in the AIDS response at global (the Global Fund Secretariat, UNAIDS, UNITAID and other coordinating mechanisms), regional (RCM) and national (NAP, NAC, CCM) levels.
