Skills Building: Strengthening community impact on TB control and policy
Date: Sunday, 22 March 2009
Time: 9am to 1 pm
Room: Sala 16, Conference Center
Build your capacity to advocate for more TB and TB/HIV resources and monitor the implementation of TB services at the country level.
We will also be identifying an advocacy agenda for the Partners' Forum and preparing activists to ensure that these advocacy priorities are addressed during the conference.
Sessions include:
Global Fund resource mobilization: Creating demand from the community
---------
TB receives less than 15% of Global Fund resources. We will be discussing how activists can participate in mobilizing Global Fund resources for TB at the country level
Monitoring and Evaluating TB control: Opportunities for civil society participation
---------
Do you feel you are part of the reporting process in your country? How can you be involved in this process? We will discuss important advocacy tools such as shadow reporting to hold leadership accountable for commitments that they have made to TB and the public health
Preparing for the Forum: Raising the voices of the community
---------
How do you have a strong voice at the Partners' Forum and ensure that community priorities are addressed? We will identify opportunities for communicating activist priorities during the meeting.
