  • 17: Community-Led Monitoring: Transforming the HIV response in Malawi

    17: Community-Led Monitoring: Transforming the HIV response in Malawi
    Jan 15 2025
    Community-Led Monitoring has been on the rise in the HIV response. Known as CLM for short, it’s a tactic being championed and implemented to ensure that communities play a direct role in monitoring and improving HIV services.

    This episode of PxPulse: The Advocacy Chronicles puts a spotlight on CLM in Malawi, where civil society and communities are successfully using CLM to connect government decision makers to gaps in HIV services and to what people really need. Thanks to persistent advocacy, both PEPFAR and Global Fund now recognize, through their funding, the critical role of CLM.

    David Kamkwamba, a journalist and health advocate and the former chair of the Civil Society Advocacy Forum on HIV and related diseases (CSAF), tells us what advocates have accomplished in Malawi and just how they did it. CSAF and AVAC are partners in the Coalition to Build Momentum, Power, Activism, Strategy & Solidarity (COMPASS) which has supported extensive work on community-led monitoring in Malawi and across the region.

    S5 Ep16: An Advocacy Chronicle on Universal Healthcare in Tanzania, with Atuswege Mwangomale of Sikika
    Dec 12 2024
    In this episode of PxPulse:The Advocacy Chonicles, Atuswege Mwangomale goes deep on the advocacy work behind the passage of Tanzania’s Universal Healthcare Law. Atu serves as Head of Health Programs for Sikika, a Tanzania-based advocacy organization with a long track record of promoting best practices in governmental financing in the health sector, and advocating for improved health outcomes. Sikika, along with AVAC, is also a member of the COMPASS coalition, which uses data and coalitions across Africa to identify strategic campaigns to advance the HIV response.

    Sikika’s advocacy has been crucial to the ultimate passage of Tanzania’s Universal Health Insurance Bill in 2023, but full funding must still be secured for the law to achieve full impact.

    Atu explains the promise of UHC in Tanzania, how Sikika won the trust of government allies, and why working in coalition was essential to success.

    In the days and years ahead under a Trump Administration, advocacy for choice, freedom, science, and rights will require deep strategic shifts to protect hard-fought gains in global health generally, and to safeguard policies and programs that advance it. And there will be major implications for the global AIDS response. Joining us to navigate all this and to better understand the landscape for advocacy are Jen Kates from KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research organization, and our own Suraj Madoori.
