From the EECA Regional Platform established by the Global Fund
The Global Fund’s Community, Rights and Gender (CRG) Technical Assistance (TA) Program started it’s new phase of the implementation as a part of the Global Fund’s CRG Strategic Initiative.
You may find all relevant information about this short-term technical assistance program available at the new page at the Global Fund’s website following this link>>>.
Please, be informed that the CRG Department updated the list of CRG technical assistance providers for the 2021-2023 implementation period. Also, new CRG TA Request Form is available (the old one is not applicable anymore) as well as an example of the High-quality TA Request.
The CRG technical assistance is available in 3 main areas of work:
- Situational analysis and needs assessments
- Country dialogue
- Supporting design and implementation arrangements.
For more details please see the CRG Technical Assistance Guidance Note.
CRG Technical Assistance does NOT support:
- CCM strengthening (e.g. training of CCM members in their roles and responsibilities);
- Long-term capacity development of civil society networks and organizations (e.g. organizational development, support to become a Global Fund recipient);
- Development of stand-alone tools that lack a focus on community engagement;
- Funding request writing.
The short-term nature of technical assistance foresees that community experts can be deployed for approximately 30 days over a period of up to three months.
Also, if you have any questions regarding the CRG TA Program or you need any assistance with development of the request – please feel free to contact Ivan Varentsov at ivan@harmreductioneurasia.org as the coordinator of the EECA Regional Platform for Communication and Coordination supported by the Global Fund.
The RADIAN ‘Unmet Need’ fund will support local initiatives across the EECA region. Initiatives selected will focus on prevention and care, education, community empowerment, and novel partnerships. The programme will be implemented locally, working with key stakeholders and partners.
