The CLM program is funded through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief in Botswana (PEPFAR/Botswana) in support of the Government of Botswana’s (GoB) effort to achieve HIV epidemic control through the implementation of evidence-based and client-centered interventions to accelerate progress in HIV prevention, care and treatment and ultimately, save lives.

The overall goal of the CLM program is to ensure the availability, access to, and delivery of quality health and HIV services. The CLM program’s main objective is to provide a direct feedback mechanism to clients and beneficiaries of these services throughout the health service delivery experience to diagnose persistent issues and barriers to service uptake. The expectation is that this feedback loop will help identify gaps and workable solutions that are driven by the community to overcome them.

The CLM program seeks to provide grants to local CSOs and NGOs to establish, train and support networks of clients and beneficiary groups to monitor and address persistent problems and barriers to effective, client-centered HIV and health services. Monitoring clients and beneficiaries will be recruited from representative groups including people living with HIV, people living with disabilities, key populations, youth groups that include adolescent girls and young women, DREAMS ambassadors, PrEP ambassadors, ART champions, etc. Grantees are expected to set up monitoring groups that are diverse, inclusive and gender-and-age balanced.

With the support of the grant recipients, the monitoring groups will collect quantitative and qualitative data and observations using standardized tools. The data will be synthesized using a variety of methods to provide insights on barriers to service uptake and workable solutions to address them at the appropriate service delivery levels – local (community and facility), district, and national. The CLM program findings will be analyzed and discussed collaboratively between community representatives, service providers and facility managers to ensure dialogue and help all participating sides identify, implement and monitor follow up actions. By capturing clients’ and beneficiaries’ perspectives on these barriers and enablers and engaging them in identifying and adopting corrective actions, the CLM program seeks to improve service quality, continuity of care, and retention for all clients and beneficiaries. This includes expanded treatment literacy, improved access to services, and increased service uptake.

The CLM program will cover 20 of the country’s 27 districts, including Bobirwa, Boteti, Francistown, Gaborone, Good Hope, Kasane, Kgatleng, Kweneng East, Lobatse, Mabutsane, Mahalapye, Moshupa, Ngamiland, North East, Palapye, Selebe Phikwe, Serowe, South East, Southern, and Tutume. The scope and scale of monitoring will be determined by the participating client and beneficiary groups, in consultation with the grantees and PEPFAR/PCO. For example, monitoring activities could be limited to facilities and community sites supported by PEPFAR or expanded to cover all health facilities and sites in a district.

The CLM grant deliverables are:
