HER Voice: A collaborative agenda with the CRG -SI HER Voice is based on the principle that AGWY voices must permeate all policy-making levels to ensure that the design and implementation of interventions effectively reflect what works for them in the fight against HIV. What is HER Voice? This is a USD 500 000 Global Fund initiative, part of a collaborative agenda between the GRG-SI and the HER Initiative aimed at supporting adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) groups and networks to meaningfully engage in Global Fund s and related country processes in 13 focus countries.
