In May 2025, African Alliance entered into a subgrant agreement with the Eastern Africa National Networks of AIDS and Health Service Organisations (EANNASO), the Principal Recipient for the Global Fund’s Centrally Managed Limited Investment (CMLI) on Communities in Pandemic Preparedness and Response (COPPER), implemented through Community-led Monitoring (CLM).
The project COPPER Community-led Monitoring (CLM) Technical Support on the Development of a Practical Resource for Community-led PPR Budget and Resource Tracking, responds to a persistent accountability gap in pandemic preparedness financing. While governments and global institutions increasingly call for sustained domestic investment in Pandemic Preparedness, Prevention and Response (PPPR), communities and civil society actors are often unable to track how these funds are allocated and spent. PPPR budgets are frequently fragmented, opaque, or embedded within broader health programmes, placing meaningful oversight out of reach.
This initiative was designed to change that. Its core objective was to develop a practical, accessible toolkit that enables communities to follow the money, shifting their role from passive recipients of health interventions to active stewards of health security and accountability.
