  3. 1.a) Introduction to Eligibility Determination • Eligibility for funding is determined by a number of factors, including: • Income level of the country in which activities will be implemented • Disease burden; • Involvement of an inclusive Country Coordinating Mechanism; and • This presentation summarizes only the steps involved in determining income level eligibility for countries classified as Upper-middle Income (UMI)

  4. 1.b) Introduction to Eligibility Determination • At its Sixteenth meeting, the Global Fund Board set out new income level eligibility criteria (GF/B16/DP18) • These criteria are designed to give the highest priority to proposals from countries or regions with the greatest need, based on the highest burden of disease and the least ability to contribute financial resources to fight HIV, tuberculosis and malaria

  5. 2. Steps Taken to Determine UMI Country Eligibility • Start with all World Bank classified UMI countries • Remove countries which recently moved from 'Lower-middle Income' to 'Upper-middle Income' (these countries have a one year 'grace period' to adjust to their new ranking) • Include as eligible certain countries falling under the 'Small Island Economy' lending exemption to the International Development Association’s eligibility requirements (13th Board meeting) • Follow further disease specific steps for eligibility determination from the 16th Board meeting

  6. 2.a) Start with all World Bank UMI countries *As published on 1 July 2007

  7. 2.b) Remove countries benefiting from one year ‘grace period’ Blue*Countries eligible to apply under Lower-middle income requirements in Round 9 (These countries will be deleted from further slides to avoid confusion)

  8. 2.c) Include Small Island Economy exceptions Green*Small Island Economy Exceptions are eligible irrespective of disease burden(No change in list because the 4 countries already appear on World Bank UMI list for 2007)

  9. 2.d) Follow further disease specific steps for eligibility determination • The final steps in determining eligibility are specific to each of the three diseases • The following slides outline these steps • A summary of Round 9 UMI eligibility for Global Fund funding is provided on slide 6
