Call from the Community at ICASA 2025 Ghana Marathon Meeting
ICASA News
Dear Global Fund Secretariat,
We write on behalf of ICASA 2025 international and local steering committee to demand for Reconsideration of Global Fund Funding Restrictions to support ICASA 2025.
We acknowledge the Global Fund in combating HIV, TB, and Malaria across the African Region. We deeply appreciate your ongoing efforts and leadership in advancing health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
We respectfully demand reconsideration of the current funding restrictions that affect the ability of conferences such as ICASA 2025 to be adequately funded. ICASA is a life-changing platform that ensures robust representation from communities and civil societies and serves as a critical space where key decisions affecting our region are made. It also provides a vital platform for advocacy around domestic resource mobilisation for communities and key vulnerable populations.
Key reasons for reconsideration:

Our demand is a constructive one; please reconsider the current restrictions or separation of funds so that ICASA 2025 can proceed meaningfully as an inclusive and well-supported global health conversation. We are not seeking charity; as ICASA 2025 international and local steering committee, we are advocating as communities and civil societies to advance shared health outcomes and sustainable impact.
Sincerely,
Community Programme of ICASA 2025
