The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) supports community-level organizations that are turning the tide of HIV and AIDS in Africa by providing care and support to women, orphans, grandmothers and people living with HIV and AIDS. The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) is a dynamic, collaborative, feminist organization with an unwavering commitment to supporting grassroots organizations across Africa in 15 countries hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic. We are passionately committed to our partnerships and this model of working is infused into the fabric of our day-to-day work.

3. Scope of the Consultancy
The Consultant will coordinate and develop a mapping exercise of donors and their partners’ work. The following questions will be considered while designing and conducting the mapping exercise:
The mapping exercise will serve not only to identify other donors who are supporting similar work in HBC (particularly in the time of COVID-19) but also document who they are working with, what the projects are, and how their funding is informing practices around accessible healthcare. This mapping will eventually shape the direction of facilitated discussions with partners and donors about donor/partners funding needs, priorities and plans.
The first step in this process is to develop a better understanding of the donors already programmatically engaged in supporting accessible community health initiatives (including HBC interventions) in the era of COVID.
