Tracking Progress: Advancing Human Rights & Improving Access to HIV Services

RCF – Advancing Human Rights of Inadequately Served Populations
RCF – Better Access to HIV Services for Inadequately Served Populations

 

The year 2022 will mark 10 years since the establishment of the Robert Carr Fund. It was created as a unique funding mechanism with explicit mandate to provide core funding to global and regional civil society and community-led networks in the HIV response.

Since its inception, RCF has provided over 100 grants to HIV networks reaching every global region and every inadequately served population. Civil society and community networks have consistently demonstrated their effectiveness in making sure that health and human rights of inadequately served populations are at the center of global efforts to end HIV and AIDS.

In the months ahead, the RCF will reflect on our collective impact: on the changes achieved through the efforts of regional and global civil society and community networks, on the unique value of the RCF funding model that prioritizes long-term flexible core support, as well as on the Fund’s participatory structure that ensures civil society leadership in decision-making.

The first two briefing papers focus on the impact of RCF grantees in advancing human rights and improving access to services for inadequately served populations.
