Gender issues discussions are underway in the e-Forum 2008 and we would like to invite you to share your thoughts and experience on a new question:

What kind of data could and should be provided to the Global Fund to substantiate that a program is…

§         designed to address the needs of women, girls and sexual minorities in relation to HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria?

§         sound in approach, feasible, and has the potential for sustainability and impact? 

Implementers need robust data to measure the success of efforts to reduce the vulnerability of women and girls to HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and their consequent disproportionate suffering when they or those in their care are infected. Monitoring and evaluation frameworks must take this into account and be adapted where necessary to track and measure the gender aspects of programmes.

Last week’s question

Whereas this week’s discussions focus on the above topic, previously posted questions will remain open for new comers to MyGlobalFund. Last week participants in the forum discussed:

Gender: interventions that should be supported by the Global Fund to link HIV/AIDS with sexual and reproductive health [28 April-5 May]

What are the most effective health and social interventions that link HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health? Which ones should be supported by the Global Fund and which ones should not? Respond to this question.

Thank you for your commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria!
