Dear All,
ICAP in South Sudan is seeking to partner with Local community groups/ organizations including local civil society organizations (CSOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), other National Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The identified partner will lead the design and implementation of Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) program for HIV, TB, Malaria and COVID-19 responses. By capturing clients’ and beneficiaries’ perspectives on these barriers and enablers and engaging them in identifying and adopting corrective actions, the CLM program seeks to improve service quality, continuity of care, and retention for all clients and beneficiaries. This includes expanded treatment literacy, improved access to services, and increased service uptake.
Overall, the objectives are,

- To identify gaps and workable solutions that are driven by the community to overcome them.
- To improve quality service, continuity of care, and retention for all clients and beneficiaries.
