Towards a Regional HIV and AIDS Bill in EAC


The reinvigoration of regional economic integration initiated by the East African Community (EAC) promises to overcome fundamental development constraints, to increase intra-regional trade and generate more benefits for the ordinary citizens of East Africa. This renewed effort calls for further harmonisation and alignment of trade, economic and social policies. At the heart of all these developmental efforts lies the need to harness and cautiously recognise the devastating effects of HIV and AIDS on the labour force (both formal and informal sector), households and other key sectors of the economy the integration seeks to target.

Yes We Can Campaign on AIDS financing

The 'Yes We Can Campaign on AIDS financing' was launched at the XV International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA) in Dakar, Senegal in December 2008. The campaign originated from the call to development partners, governments and international donors, for a paradigm shift in how indigenous CSOs are supported.

The campaign is aimed at sensitizing various stakeholders on the potential of indigenous CSOs as they will ensure funds go directly to the communities and that this action goes to reducing operational costs of international NGOs and Governments directly implementing at community level.

NSA highlight for Eastern Africa

After the introduction of the 'first learning wave' of Global Fund financing through 'National Strategy Applications (NSAs)', many countries (22) made significant efforts through their Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) to apply under this funding stream. The NSA involves submitting a well articulated national strategy for funding rather than a country specific proposal in different Rounds. The aim of the first 'learning wave' was to draw on policy and operational lessons to guide the broader roll-out of the new application procedure beyond 2009. It was also aimed at reducing transaction costs as well as ensuring that the implementation is aligned to country priorities.
