ABSTRACT In January 2017, the Global Fund granted €3.6 million to the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) to implement a regional community treatment observatory in 11 West African countries. ITPC has recently released a new report, detailing key findings, analysis and advocacy opportunities from the first year and a half of grant implementation. The report highlights key gaps along the HIV care continuum, and shares advocacy success stories on the alleviation of stock-outs and improvements in facility-level data quality. The report's lead author explains.

ABSTRACT For the first time, in the Inspector General’s Advisory Report on Western and Central Africa, there is a transparent and multidisciplinary document available for further debate about new operational choices. In this region, 11 countries are classified as Challenging Operating Environments and should, under this category, benefit from flexibilities in their implementation to maximize impact. Two years after the policy was adopted by the Board, the OIG questions how it is being implemented, and calls for more country-by-country analysis.
