PAI Subgrants

In 2006 PAI identified regional and global partners who were interested in increasing their involvement in the RH supplies issues.  These partnerships help to increase awareness of supply shortages and mobilize support for improvements to the financing and distribution of supplies.

The results of the projects follow below. PAI is proud to have worked with these partners in advancing a common advocacy agenda for RH supplies:

Asia Pacific Alliance (APA) , worked to provide a regional perspective to the growing body of research and evidence that supports strengthening the availability and efficient use of resources for reproductive health supplies. By conducting a survey of regional members, they determined that there should be greater awareness about RH supplies. 


Central and Eastern European Women’s Network for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (ASTRA), worked on is assessing the situation within the Central and Eastern European region to create a supportive political environment to improving access to reproductive health supplies. 

Global AIDS Alliance (GAA)  worked on identifying and recommending solutions to the procurement of reproductive health supplies by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM) as part of an ongoing effort to scale up the Fund’s implementation of integrated SRH and HIV/AIDS programs.  They examined the procurement policies and procedures of the GFATM by producing an advocacy brief.. 

International Council of AIDS Service Organizations (ICASO), works to increase knowledge of potential barriers of access of condoms, but also strengthened organizations’ ability to advocate for and provide more accessibility in the future.  Their work aims to increase the understanding and knowledge of these barriers in order to strengthen the capacity of member organizations to effectively create a comprehensive response to HIV.


Latin American and Caribbean Women's Health Network (LACWHN), reached out among members in the region by preparing a document to determine the level of knowledge, involvement, interest and experience in the supply issue, as well as created a virtual forum for this discussion to be conducted.
