Context:

The Sierra Leone Global Fund (GF) programme NFM3 is implemented through 10 Sub-Recipients, including the Consortium for the Advancement of the Rights of Key Affected Populations (CARKAP). The latter was established under the GF mandate from 2016-2022 to promote and protect the human rights and gender equality of key affected populations. As a coordinating body, it comprised initially 15 organisations and oversees community activities. To address the increasing needs of the community response and successfully fulfil its mandate as a SR representing all Community Civil Society organisations, CARKAP expressed the need for significant restructuring to enhance its institutional, technical, and managerial systems, processes, and structures. An institutional capacity assessment provided recommendations and a roadmap for restructuring CARKAP. This technical assistance is therefore requested to support CARKAP in implementing its roadmap. The identified needs of CARKAP include a human resources manual, a child protection & safeguarding manual, a finance and procurement manual, a documentation policy, a constitution, a governance manual, a restructuring process, animation materials for CARPAK annual general meeting and an induction training for CARPAK board of directors.
