International Treatment Preparedness Coalition

What International Treatment Preparedness Coalition does

International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) is a Johannesburg-headquartered, U.S.-domiciled nonprofit global activist coalition founded in 2003 that advocates for universal access to HIV treatment and the removal of structural barriers (notably intellectual property constraints) affecting people living with HIV and key populations. It operates a four-pillar programmatic model — Build Resilient Communities (capacity building), Watch What Matters (community-led monitoring and research), Make Medicines Affordable (IP and access advocacy), and Innovation Lab — supplemented by an extensive open resource library including the CLM Hub digital platform, an 18-indicator Community Engagement Monitoring Tool, Citizen Science Life Maps digital storytelling project, and disease-specific toolkits covering HIV, TB, Hepatitis C, mpox, and COVID-19.

ITPC's underlying technology is methodological rather than software-centric: a proprietary Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) framework and the Community Treatment Observatory (CTO) model, refined across more than a decade of multi-country implementation, that enables communities to systematically collect standardized data on treatment access and quality, analyze findings locally, and convert them into evidence for accountability-focused advocacy. Distribution operates via a hybrid community-led GTM: a Global Activist Network of 4,500+ newsletter subscribers, 21 in-country Community Action Networks (mostly in Africa), and institutional co-development partnerships with ICAP at Columbia University, IAPAC, and the Stop TB Partnership that extend reach into Fast Track Cities and TB programming.

The revenue model is grant-funded: ITPC accepts no fees for programs or resources, with funding sourced primarily from institutional donors including the Global Fund (incl. C19RM), USAID, and PEPFAR, channeled through multi-year program grants and targeted sub-awards. Beneficiary segments span people living with HIV and key populations (recipients of care), community activists and advocates, civil society/NGO implementers, and government health authorities. The organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors, with Solange Baptiste serving as Director.
