поиск по ресурсному центру The Robert Car civil society Networks Fund (RCNF) is the first international pooled funding mechanism that specifically aims to strengthen global and regional HIV civil society and community networks across the world. This institutional focus is in recognition of networks’ critical value and contribution to better health, inclusion and social wellbeing of inadequately served populations (ISPs), as networks have unique reach into and impact at community level.
The purpose of this RCNF 2016 Annual Report: From Invisibility to Indivisibility is three-fold: it seeks to report on significant results that the RCNF grantees achieved during 2016, generating evidence for the critical value of civil society and community networks within the HIV response; to reflect on the unique contribution of the Fund’s combined work; and to explore the valuable findings and lessons from this year’s work as well as the last 5 years of the Fund, which will strengthen the RCNF’s results in 2017 and beyond. In doing so, this report seeks to tell a story about the RCNF collective, providing a synthesis of the many different levels and ways in which the collective achieves its outcomes and impact. This story is one of how ISP communities have started on an aspirational path from invisibility to indivisibility – and how the RCNF’s unique mechanism supports that transformation.
Context
In the five years since the RCNF was founded, the global HIV response has grown and shifted enormously. ISPs1 have gained recognition in the global response for their disproportionate burden of HIV infection, and the movement has found increased value in collaborative, intersectional advocacy on common issues. While there is positive progress on the global level in promoting linkages of stakeholders’ actions towards resilient systems for health through the Sustainable Development Goals and other frameworks supporting people-centered approaches, there are also several long-entrenched challenges, which call for stronger civil society and community responses. Challenges in the social, policy and legal environment remain, and many countries see closing space for civil society; even with tremendous global progress on access to HIV treatment, ISPs still face barriers in accessing quality prevention, care, treatment and support services; and the resource environment is shifting dramatically, leaving many ISP programs underfunded or facing shutdown. Thus, the RCNF collective’s contribution and role become more relevant in this precarious context, where the RCNF grantees continue working systematically to dismantle the barriers to an enabling environment and accessibility of quality services for ISPs, and promoting the mobilization of appropriate resources to sustain the HIV response.
