CEGAA is strengthening the capacity of the Treatment Action Campaign’s community health advocates to monitor local health service delivery, budgeting and expenditure. Supported by the International Budget Partnership (IBP), Open Society Foundation for SA (OSF-SA) and Open Society Institute New York (OSI-NY), this work is being showcased around the globe by presenting CEGAA and TAC as an ideal partnership for solid coalitions that benefit all. The district-based project is empowering communities to participate in important decision-making structures at local level for improved health and HIV/AIDS resources.
