TLF SHARE Collective proposed for the development of a Unified Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) platform with an HIV service delivery module. The platform will be built in a way that it can integrate with existing modules such as HIV Rights, PRC, and OHASIS of the DOH. The build of the platform will be informed by a comprehensive assessment and mapping of community capacity, needs and context,  and will be built with a roadmap that will provide a framework for its expansion. The project coordinates among development partners, NSAP, DOH, PNAC, UNAIDS, the PROTECTS project, and others to optimize and harmonize the strategies being employed by all players in achieving a unified CLM for the Philippines.

The project aims to achieve the following:

1. Facilitate the development of a CLM roadmap that will articulate the community’s CLM vision, including indicators that are relevant to the work of community-led organizations (CLOs);

2. Develop the service delivery module that will form part of the unified CLM digital platform; and,

3. Conduct a qualitative community assessment on Quality of Care in the context of HIV service provision.

The Matching Fund for Human Rights (MFHR) ensures that key populations and people living with HIV have access to information and services, where one is assured of confidentiality, security, sensitive and quality services. Defining and establishing a "safe space", whether virtual, physical, and other elements, in the context of accessing HIV services, specifically for people who inject drugs (PWID) and young key populations (YKP) who are at risk of HIV, can be challenging as there are multiple issues attached to them. For example, PWID are in conflict with the law, and some YKP may not be of legal age, economically challenged, and are vulnerable to abuse and harassment.
