Our COMPASS Governance Committee Chair presenting @zichire poster on Bridging the gap; leveraging peer mentorship and community engagement to enhance health seeking behavior among ABYM. #IAS2025 #HIVResponse @iasociety

When Gvt understands CLM they begin to appreciate and respond better to service delivery improvements suggested to them. @iasociety #COMPASS #CLM #IAS2025

How do we improve political will to maximize the utility of CLM data? The first place to start is educating Gvt about CLM. This helps to address the misconceptions and mistrust between Civil Society and Government. #COMPASS @iasociety

David from is describing how the CLM has built a relationship with the government, and now government stakeholders see the value add of CLM to service delivery and policy. For example, governments have a hard time collecting data on KPs, but CLM is able to provide this. #COMPASS
