Project Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 accentuated how issues of equity are critical determinants in access to services \u2013 with those already marginalized and vulnerable bearing the greatest burden of both the direct and indirect consequences of health threats. The Global Fund Strategy commits to deliver health and well-being programs that are capable to preventing, identifying and responding to pandemics. Underpinning the need for programs to respond to the actual and changing needs of communities, the Strategy puts people and communities at the center of all we do and commits to maximizing the engagement and leadership of most affected communities to leave no one behind. The need to prepare for pandemics which includes building community systems is key to ensure access to health services and to reduce gender and human rights violations during emergencies and pandemics. Pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) literacy is key to facilitate engagement of communities to ensure they can participate in decision making governance platforms, produce data as evidence for advocacy, coordinate PPR advocacy action through coalition building and strengthening and partnership building. Both COPPER community engagement (CE) and community-led monitoring (CLM) Central Managed Limited investments (CMLI) aim to build the capacity for communities to lead and drive PPR responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing that communities have limited access to information and are not included in PPR decision-making for a, the absence of systematic PPR capacity development strategies and plans for most vulnerable and marginalised communities, weak consultation and coordination in development and oversight of PPR policies and programs, stigma and discrimination against most vulnerable and marginalised communities remains a major challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To contribute to the Global Fund\u2019s shift from COVID-19 impact mitigation towards pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) and community and health systems readiness, the Community Engagement and Pandemic Preparedness and Response (COPPER CE) is concentrating on building Pandemic Preparedness and Response (PPR) capacity of communities and civil society to effectively engage in country-level processes and mechanisms related to pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) that ensures national PPR policies, strategies, and programs integrate health equity, human rights, and gender equality. The COOPER CE project is funded by the Global Fund with the African Coalition on Tuberculosis (ACT-Africa) as prime and YOUNETPO as a subgrantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
