Our Vision

We envisage a world in which economic policies and financial systems allow for efficient, effective and equitable health and welfare systems, enabling a multi-sectoral response to HIV/AIDS, TB, health in general, and other development imperatives, towards broad-based flourishing and the achievement of the rights of all people.


Our Mission

To improve economic governance, fiscal policy, financial management and accountability regarding HIV/AIDS, TB and health in general, through building capacity at all levels: senior public financial decision-makers, policy-makers, parliamentarians, financial and programme planners, managers and implementers, members of civil society and researchers.


what we do

CEGAA aims to achieve two overarching strategic outcomes for impact:

    1. 1. Active engagement by civil society towards holding governments accountable for effective resourcing of their responses to HIV/AIDS.
    2. 2. Increased efficacy in the use of financial resources by African governments to strengthen their responses to HIV/AIDS.

      To realise these outcomes, CEGAA works towards:

      1. 1. Increased civil society influence in HIV/AIDS budgeting and expenditure processes.
      2. 2. Increased transparency and accountability of governments and other stakeholders for HIV/AIDS spending.
      3. 3. Improved use of evidence for effective allocations and spending on HIV/AIDS and related health systems.
      4. 4. Increased and improved spending for a multi-sectoral development response to HIV/AIDS.
      5. 5. Enhancing our own organisational functioning.

        CEGAA has added value to a range of organisations in the region by:

        1. 1. Facilitating organisations' recognition of the budget as a tool for advocacy and health systems strengthening;
        2. 2. Supporting governments at key points in the financial planning cycle, through costing, budget creation and execution, tracking of spending and outputs, improving financial information systems, and enhancing performance-based financial management;
        3. 3. Sharing a sound understanding of the regional health context and the dynamics of health sectors in respective countries;
        4. 4. Providing resources and tools that are practical, effective and easy to use;
        5. 5. Offering ongoing follow-up technical support and tactical guidance on advocacy;
        6. 6. Motivating strategic global, regional and national opportunities for greater access to financial resources for Africa's response to health and HIV/AIDS.
