Senegal HIV advocates prepare funding request for 2027 to 2029

The National Network of Associations of People Living with HIV in Senegal (RNP+) met to prepare a funding request for the 2027 to 2029 period.

The group aims to ensure that community priorities remain central to future investments intended to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. The RNP+ organized a review meeting with support from Coalition PLUS to evaluate the upcoming funding request for the eighth cycle of the Global Fund.

Soukeye Ndiaye, the president of RNP+, stated that the organization is fulfilling its mission to defend the interests of people living with the virus and other vulnerable groups. The group wants to confirm that the national funding proposal reflects the actual needs and aspirations of the community. Association leaders examined the proposal to compare planned activities against the lived realities of their members. They are checking for consistency between identified problems, proposed interventions, and expected results.

The group is also reviewing the financial and operational feasibility of the planned actions. The network is placing specific focus on human rights, gender issues, and the reduction of stigma and discrimination. They want to ensure that people living with HIV have equitable access to health services. Following these meetings, the RNP+ plans to produce a consolidated proposal with a roadmap for submission to the relevant authorities.
