The “Young Key Population and Youths Engagement in the Global Fund 7th Grant Cycle” is an engagement tool published by Youth LEAD with support from the Global Fund CRGSI. It is developed for youth-led organizations and Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCM) across Asia-Pacific countries in supporting their process of submitting Global Fund funding requests and in the coordination and alignment of funding applications. This engagement guide is intended to support youth-led organizations on Meaningful Youth and Adolescent Engagement (MAYE) in the Grant Cycle–7. Under the CRG-Strategic Initiative grant, the Youth Consortium led by Youth LEAD has been awarded funding to ensure the meaningful engagement of young key populations in the 7th Grant Cycle and sufficient focus on gender-based violence and human rights programs. To strengthen the engagement of the young key and vulnerable population in GC7 Youth Lead is planning to support country partners, the YKVP group, and YKP-led organizations in 8 countries. The main purpose of the guideline is to play the role of detailed-guide /step by step/ to youth-led organizations across the Asia Pacific and African region on how to bring YKPs and YPLHIVs together and meaningfully engage and involve in the funding request development process, including the community priorities in the funding request.
The development of this engagement tool employed a desk review approach on existing reports, manuals, and guidelines that illustrate good practices, the experience of youth with Global Fund’s Country Coordinating Mechanism, and meaningful youth engagement in proposal writing and funding requests.
