In Zimbabwe, community-led monitoring (CLM) has played a key role in advancing the quality of care for people living with HIV in their diversity. CLM has aided in identifying issues of drug stockouts for essential drugs, including TB treatment, staff attitudes negating service uptake, and access to health services by PLWHIV among other things. Therefore, the Development Agenda for Girls and Women in Africa Network (DAWA) proposed a session that can be a platform to share lessons learnt by community-based organizations in Zimbabwe in implementing CLM. The activity will unpack the challenges and share strategies that have been put in place to overcome these challenges.
Objectives
To bring together voices of community-based organizations in Zimbabwe implementing CLM to share their experiences, challenges, and solutions
To highlight selected case studies from communities that CLM has supported on the impact of CLM
To bring to the table the voices of Community Health Advocates who do the CLM data collection- and to share how the data they collect has supported advocacy initiatives in their communities.
Expected Outcomes
Community Based Organizations effectively implementing CLM
