Understanding Sustainability, Transition and Co-financing in GC8-THROUGH THE COMMUNITY LENS |

How do we safeguard life-saving, peer-led HIV services as international donor funding rapidly scales down? In this webinar hosted by the Asia Pacific Regional Learning Hub (Seven Alliance) on June 25, 2026, the civil society leaders, community advocates, and Global Fund specialists come together to unpack Sustainability, Transition, and Co-financing (STC) through a practical, community-first lens.Moving away from dense academic theories, this live, talk-show style panel explores real-world solutions currently unfolding across the region—from embedding safe community spaces into local municipal budgets to locking in trackable funding paths to protect specialized key population services from vanishing during primary healthcare integration. 📌 What’s Covered in this Session: The Regional Landscape: High-level findings and systemic bottlenecks from the Asia-Pacific Learning Network (APLN) consultation on sustainable financing. The Philippines Context: How Wagayway Equality Inc. successfully advocated for direct sub-national budget absorption to secure physical office space and municipal job orders for community volunteers. The Indonesia Context: How the Indonesia AIDS Coalition (IAC) is establishing trackable budget codes (nomenclatures) inside the national work plan system to unlock long-term domestic social contracting. The Cambodia Context: How HACC and PLHIV representatives are working to integrate peer-led care into national health equity packages while driving domestic social contracting frameworks forward. The Global Fund Outlook: A practical overview from Gonzalo Peñacoba-Fernandez (Global Fund Sustainability Specialist) on leveraging the new GC8 co-financing requirements to prioritize key and vulnerable populations. 💡 Key Takeaway: Sustainability is political, not technical. If communities do not actively shape the system, the system will not sustain communities. 🔗 Resources Mentioned: Visit the Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) open-source portal: www.fonpam.info/clm Learn more about the Indonesia AIDS Coalition: www.iac.or.id Connect with the Seven Alliance: https://sevenallianceap.com #GlobalFund #GC8 #SocialContracting #CommunityLed #HIVResponse #AsiaPacific #HealthFinancing #SevenAlliance
