After completion of the regional meeting, representatives from different sectors that make up the Country Coordinating Mechanism evaluated the meeting and shared their challenges the next round.
The regional meeting for the Country Coordinating Mechanisms and coordination mechanisms of the South American Region was completed and left many challenges for participants. Faced with a 2010 that is anticipated as a key and in the face of the new structure presented by the Global Fund, civil society representatives drew their own conclusions from the meeting.
"The positive thing is to see the possibilities for mechanisms to improve its structure, both organic and functional. The Global Fund is insisting on establishing a better balance within the MCPs between the civil sector, the private sector and government " Orlando said Montoya, general coordinator of ASICAL. Arely Cano, Regional Secretary of the International Community of Women Living with HIV / AIDS (ICW), stressed that the meeting was useful for "visibility of the operation of the Global Fund and see how civil society organizations and networks can participate and fight for a space. "
Challenges
"The challenge is to, with all the information we get, better prepare our regional proposal to be adopted at the Tenth Round. That's one of our biggest challenges, "acknowledged Elena Reynaga, Executive Secretary RedTraSex. Marcela Romero, Regional Coordinator RedLacTrans, agreed that the biggest challenge is the Round 10: "We'll have to work with the CCM and present the project. And this presentation is going to have to make a partner that has the capability, which is strengthened and informed debate. "
Another challenge will be to ensure strong participation and representation of all sectors within each MCP. "We call readdress the statutes of the MCPs in Latin America and to be renovated for the partners of trans people may occupy a specific population as vulnerable and not in a group, called Romero. Montoya, meanwhile, said the main goal will be that CCMs can ensure their composition according to who has the epidemic prevalence in those sectors in each country. "Otherwise there will be many areas within the mechanisms, the luster, are being less affected by the epidemic and are relegated to priority sectors, which are the voices that really have to be within the MCPs," said .
Finally, Arely Cano referred to the situation of women, according to a report by the Observatory Latino, have little representation. "This is not to specify an agenda because they already have. It is about getting women to see how we can have our own space, "he said and concluded:" The exercise will see how to achieve coordination among different actors for the voices of all people are heard. "
view, the challenges are the same for everyone. Will have to see what happens when to implement them.
