AMPLIFY IMPACT
Amplify Impact enables the accompaniment, collaboration and learning needed to achieve the goals of the ViiV Healthcare Positive Action strategy, “Healthy communities in a world free of AIDS”.
The approach is based on a respect for human rights and is conscious of power and power relations that lie at the heart of our work. Our starting point is to begin from a clear purpose, intent and alignment to strategy.
Amplify Impact consists of a series of support options designed to facilitate joined-up impact, ongoing learning and improvement and builds on and replaces earlier, more limited offers of Technical Assistance.
We believe that non-financial assistance should enable partners to be fit-for-purpose and aligned to our strategy and this will require a degree of flexibility and responsiveness within Positive Action.
The Amplify Impact offer
Accompaniment: Technical assistance is available to support grantees with an additional fixed budget allocation (up to 10% of total grant size) to procure required technical assistance for institutional strengthening areas. This is only available to grantees in Innovator and Momentum grants and is self-managed by the grantee and reported on, in line with clear pre-defined requirements and criteria. This has to be applied for during the grant application process. This is clearly marked in the application form.
