Civil Society meet to develop a concept note for GF round 9 (karnataka,Tamilnadu, Andhrapradesh, & Kerala)

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

 

The National Aids Control Organisation has requested Freedom Foundation to

organise a meeting of capable and interested civil society organisations 

(HIV/AIDS , TB , & Malaria) from the states of Tamilnadu , Karnataka , Kerala ,

& Andhra Pradesh to develop a concept note  and subsequent proposal for the

India Global Fund round 9 proposal.

The indicated thematic area would be in addressing the vulnerability of women

and children in accessing health care in the context of HIV/AIDS.

 

We are looking at having approx. 10 organisations from each of the four southern

states (Tamilnadu , Karnataka , Kerala , & Andhra Pradesh)  who would be able

to adequately represent the said sectors

 

The meeting would be held in Bangalore and would be supported by the Kranataka

State Aids Control and Prevention Society.

It is important to note that we are inviting local indigenous

organisations (including faith based)who have a demonstratative capacity to

manage and implement large projects.

Interested organisations are requested to send in a small note of intent

and contact details at the earliest (by 06/10/08) to freedom_ho@...

 

Thanking you in advance

Yours Sincerely

Dr.Ashok Rau

Dear Civil Society Members,

Re: /message/9496

I do not have anything personal against anybody.

But I am amazed how NACO guides the process of GFATM proposal development,

throwing the whole purpose of Civil Society participation out of the window.

I really think if all what we have got till now from GFATM (including

the projects in pipeline) really reflects needs of the affected and

infected groups or the needs of babudom?

It would be an interesting analysis to see how many Sub Recipients

currently are or have been members of the CCM?

Does any one have such analysis? Please post.

Warm Regards,

Rajiv
