#CommunityLedMonitoring
Community-Led Monitoring puts people at the center of the HIV, TB & Malaria response.
Through iMonitor, communities track service quality, raise gaps, and drive accountability.
When communities lead, health systems work better.

We were honoured to present our oral abstract at #IAS2025: “Impact of the Anti-Homosexuality Act on HIV Service Delivery in Uganda: Evidence from Community-Led Monitoring.”
Our data from 320 public health facilities and 50 drop-in centres shows the 2023 AHA has had devastating effects:
⚠️ 31% drop in HIV testing for MSM
⚠️ 38% drop in population-specific services
⚠️ Increased stigma, fear, and client dropouts at DICs
⚠️ Reports of harassment, raids, and mental health distress among staff
While some service indicators improved overall, MSM-specific access sharply declined, with DICs facing legal threats and strained partnerships.
This is the first study using community-owned data to track criminalization’s impact on HIV care in Uganda.
📄 Full paper will be published in the Journal of the International AIDS Society.

🚨 Funding cuts are collapsing HIV systems,but communities are fighting back.
At #IAS2025 leaders from Malawi🇲🇼, Thailand🇹🇭 & Tanzania🇹🇿 showed how #CommunityLedMonitoring works:
✔️ 6x higher DSD uptake in Malawi
✔️ PrEP access DOUBLED in Thailand
✔️ Yet 54% of key populations in Tanzania face service refusal
We need:
🔹 More domestic investment
🔹 Stronger U=U advocacy
🔹 Policies that protect KP voices
Data saves lives. Will leaders listen? #CLM#HIV
Ongoing trainings on #CommunityLedMonitoring in Kakamega mean more than just learning—they empower the community to OWN the process, demand accountability, and improve TB & HIV services. 💪🏾
