Politically Relevant Updates

1. Government Mitigation Measures:

2. Civil Society Response:
   • Mitigation Strategies: Some of the mitigation strategies and innovations by civil society (including community) include maintaining services through volunteering, applying for social contracting, shifting outreach workers to AIDS center contracts, transitioning to web outreach, reviewing plans with mid- and long-term scenarios, and engaging in dialogue with the Global Fund on the uptake of some service funding after the 90-day pause and once there is more clarity on the final decision.
