Civil Society Action Team (CSAT)

The International Council of AIDS Service Organizations is the Global Host for the Civil Society Action Team (CSAT), a civil society-led global initiative that coordinates, brokers, provides and advocates for technical support to civil society organizations implementing or seeking grants from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

With hubs in seven regions and subregions of the world (West and Central Africa, Middle East and North Africa, Eastern Africa, Southern Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, The Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific), CSAT has a five-year mandate (2008 – 2013) to:

  • Identify civil society technical support needs related to Global Fund proposals and projects
  • Link technical support providers with civil society organizations that need support
  • Identify possible funding sources for technical support to civil society organizations.
  • Advocate for an expanded range of technical support services with providers
  • Facilitate civil society input into Global Fund and related UN system coordinating mechanisms
  • Promote the inclusion of marginalized groups in all aspects of Global Fund grants
