For CCI, the true measure of every successful programme lies in the lives it transforms through compassion, dignity, support and access to essential services.

This video shines a spotlight on the dedicated team at Tholwana eMolemo and the meaningful impact of the S*x Work Programme. Through the voices of S*x Workers, it tells a story of improved access to health services, psychosocial support, HIV prevention and Human Rights-Based interventions that are empowering individuals and strengthening communities.

Every story shared is a reminder that people-centred, community-led programmes have the power to create lasting change.

Every survivor deserves access to justice, and no one should have to navigate that journey alone.

As part of CCI's Human Rights and Gender Programme, we are providing ongoing support in a r**e trial in the OR Tambo District, where we've been providing case management and legal support to a young survivor throughout the justice process.

This story is not about the details of one case, but about the importance of survivor-centred support, strengthening access to justice, and ensuring that vulnerable communities are not left behind.

Together, we continue working towards a justice system that is accessible, responsive and accountable for all.

This week, from 29 June – 3 July 2026, CCI is proud to facilitate its Community Paralegal Training in Johannesburg with AURUM Institute's TG/MSM implementers. This training is equipping participants to become:
⚖️ Community-Based Human Rights Responders – Trusted frontline actors who identify, prevent and support responses to Human Rights violations that affect access to HIV, TB, and STI services - particularly for key and vulnerable populations.

📚 Access to Justice Facilitators – Providing legal literacy, basic legal assistance, advocacy, mediation and referrals to legal and social support services.

🤝 Community Systems Strengtheners – Documenting Human Rights violations, supporting community-led monitoring and promoting accountability and rights-based service delivery.

By strengthening community capacity, we are helping to build a more just, equitable and rights-based healthcare system, where everyone can access essential services without fear of discrimination or exclusion.

As a critical partner in delivering health and social services to S*x Workers across South Africa, CCI welcomes the launch of Lenacapavir (LEN) in SA. CCI’s CEO Dr Sakumzi Ntayiya, alongside fellow executives and key stakeholders, proudly attended the national ceremony held in Mpumalanga.

"Today marks a significant step forward in expanding access to innovative prevention options for vulnerable populations including S*x Workers - one of the communities at the heart of CCI's work. We see this as a groundbreaking advancement in HIV prevention, and has the potential to transform lives and strengthen the country's HIV response", said Dr. Ntayiya.

Launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa, this milestone shows commitment in ensuring that those most at risk have access to life-changing prevention tools, quality healthcare and the dignity they deserve.

Communities must move from being passive beneficiaries to active co-creators in shaping Africa’s health financing future.
CCI is proud to participate in the global dialogue on Unlocking Community Voices for Africa’s Health Financing Agenda. Organised by VillageReach, the gathering brings together leaders, practitioners and advocates to reimagine how communities can meaningfully influence health financing discourse across the continent.

Our CEO, Dr. Sakumzi Ntayiya, is representing South African communities, covering the topic on “Moving from “passive beneficiaries” to “cocreators”. His contribution covered insights on practical steps required to build a truly community-responsive health financing agenda for Africa.

This important dialogue creates space for collective reflection, shared learning and co-creation — ensuring that communities are not only heard, but actively shape decisions that affect their health and wellbeing.

Together, communities are driving change from the ground up!

Through their own lived experiences and perspectives, Community Monitors share why community participation remains critical in improving the quality of healthcare services in South Africa.

Community-Led Monitoring is more than monitoring systems, it is about ensuring dignity, equity, accountability and meaningful inclusion for all affected communities.

Today marks a powerful milestone as the new Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) logo was officially unveiled at the CCI-organised CLM session currently underway in Johannesburg. More than just a visual identity, this logo represents the collective voice, leadership and resilience of key and vulnerable populations driving Community-Led Monitoring efforts across the country.

It reflects the lived realities, advocacy and leadership of:
• Women
• Youth
• People Living with HIV
• Persons affected by TB
• LGBTQI+ communities
• S*x workers
• People Who Use Drugs
• Persons Living With Disabilities

Designed by Khanyisa Dunjwa from Ilitha Labantu - the logo intentionally incorporates the South African flag in its original form to honour and preserve our national identity, while the rainbow element symbolises diversity, inclusion, dignity and solidarity among communities.

The interwoven ribbons and vibrant colours reflect the unity and inclusion of all represented groups within the broader CLM movement, including youth and people who use drugs. The royal blue “Monitoring” text signifies trust, accountability and structured community oversight.

Grounded in the core CLM values of:
✨ Communities
✨ Accountability
✨ Equity
✨ Dignity

📍Johannesburg, South Africa
Ahead of the critical work ahead, in communities across the country - CCI has convened host organisations, community monitors and partners for a 3-day Community-Led Monitoring (CLM), Communication & Advocacy Strategies Capacity Building Session.

It's about strengthening community systems through:
✔️ Data collection tools
✔️ Analysis, interpretation & solution generation
✔️ Information dissemination
✔️ Advocacy strategy development

Community-Based Organisations remain at the heart of the HIV and TB response. Their close connection to communities enables them to identify challenges, reduce stigma, improve treatment adherence and ensure services are responsive, inclusive and community driven.

It’s about building resilient civil society structures that can drive sustainable impact where it matters most.

Together, we are strengthening communities to lead change.

Joy. Hope. Real impact in Action. ✨

During a recent visit to the Centre for Positive Care — one of CCI’s Sub-Recipients showcased the powerful early moments of the S*x Worker Programme rollout. The energy in the room said it all. Stakeholders, community members and programme teams came together not just to observe, but to celebrate a programme that is already making a difference where it matters most. From access to essential health services to creating safe & supportive spaces, this rollout represents more than implementation — it’s about dignity, inclusion and restoring hope.

Voices were heard. Stories were shared. And most importantly, joy was visible. This is what meaningful community impact looks like.
