Within the HIV response, security refers to the ability of individuals, communities, and organizations to participate in, access, and deliver HIV-related services without facing physical harm, legal threats, social exclusion, or digital surveillance. It includes protecting the rights, dignity, and well-being of both beneficiaries (especially from key populations) and those providing services—such as healthcare workers, peer educators, and civil society organizations.
The MENA region faces many challenges, including armed conflicts, public health issues and political instability. These problems threaten the security of frontline workers and beneficiaries within the HIV programs.
In this context, the MENA Learning Hub organized a webinar to foster dialogue, share strategies and best practices, and build collective capacity on security—recognizing it as a foundational element of successful, sustainable health responses in the region.
After the opening remarks from the MENA Regional Manager, the consultant in charge of leading on the Learning Needs Assessment presented the key findings and recommendations in regards to the engagement of the communities and CSOs with the Global Funds related processes. This was followed by a panel discussion with a community representative in the Tunisian CCM and the Senior Technical Coordinator at the CRG Department.
The second webinar was an info session around the Global Fund multi country Request For Proposals with French and Arabic interpretation.
During this webinar, MENAHRA and MENA Rosa launched the MENA Learning Hub and presented the three-years workplan.
The Global Fund Community Engagement Strategic Initiative team gave an overview of the vision and expected outcomes of the hub. In addition, the Global Fund MENA Team addressed the MENA regional priorities and the role of the MLH.
Moreover, a brief presentation was given on the RISE Study: Bringing Community Participatory Action Research to Life.
