in HIV prevention, care and treatment and ultimately, save lives.

Through the PEPFAR Coordination Office, the U.

S.

Embassy in Kinshasa administers this Community Grants Program and is seeking proposals from registered local Community-based organizations and other civil society groups, networks of key populations (KP), people living with HIV (PLHIV), and other affected groups including children, or community entities that gather quantitative and qualitative data about HIV services and whose mission and activities focuses on HIV programming.

CLM is key to ensuring availability, access to, and delivery of quality HIV care and services.

CLM will empower patients and communities to seek out this information, increase health literacy, expand engagement with health service delivery, support demand creation, and demand accountability from the health system to improve and deliver these services.
