Community representatives of FoNPAM Forum and stakeholders met to review and revise CLM community feedback tool.
The seven links of the community feedback tool will be revised into six links, merging questionnaires on prevention, PrEP, and STI services into a single link, adding a new link on community mental health risk factors, and adding a response mechanism to the questionnaire on stigma, discrimination, and gender-based violence.
This revision will strengthen the implementation of community-led monitoring (CLM) in line with national strategies and programs for responding to HIV and related services.
The meeting was supported by #DFAT#UNAIDS
