This session, organized by AFEW Network, will offer an opportunity to share experience in strengthening community monitoring and involvement in service delivery: from grassroot to policy level.

During the session we will talk about creating an enabling environment by building the bridge between service beneficiaries, services, policies and successful experiences in meaningful involvement of our service beneficiaries and building strong collaborations between communities of key populations and the public system.

Through exchange and panel discussion we aim to:

  • Demonstrate the double win (for both the public system AND the communities served) when communities and service beneficiaries are involved in service delivery and policy making;
  • Share strategies and best practices from the AFEW network members that use innovative methods of information through online media that hands bigger autonomy to the service beneficiaries;
  • Share strategies and best practices to form mechanisms of community monitoring.

This session is prepared and presented in the framework of the program ‘Bridging the Gaps: health and rights for Key populations’, through the regional EECA approach by AFEW International and AFEW Network.
