African-Led Consultative Group (ACG) Monitoring and Evaluation Officer

About ITPC Global

ITPC is an issue-based global organization working to achieve health and social justice for all through robust community engagement. ITPC was birthed in 2003 in Cape Town, South Africa, by a committed group of 125 HIV activists from 65 countries who refused to accept a world in which people living with HIV were denied access to life-saving medicine. As ITPC grew into a Global Activist Network (GAN) advocating for the needs of communities affected by HIV and TB, it also laid the groundwork for community-driven work extending beyond singular diseases and addressing the systemic issues affecting people’s health and quality of life— exposing and resisting entrenched global power dynamics that consistently prioritize privilege and profit over the right to health and dignity. Today, we celebrate 20 years, highlighting progress in the fight for equitable access and affordability to treatment, amplifying community power, and building resilience within communities.

UNAIDS will support ITPC Global and its African partners to establish and implement activities of an African-led Civil Society Global Health Policy Consultative Group (ACG). This initiative aims to consolidate expertise, work synergistically with existing groups and coalitions, and create forums for dialogue, advocacy and action at community, country, and regional level. The intention is that this forum will explicitly work on health advocacy, systems, responses, and policies through its form (leadership structure, membership, constituencies), content (health equity across disease areas and populations, with attention to structural determinants of health), and process (transparent, inclusive, responsive to community priorities and accountable to them).
