Board Decision Point GF/B18/DP7 on AMFm • Policy Framework and Implementation Plan approved • GFATM to host and manage the AMFm in Phase 1 in a limited number of countries • Pre launch overseen by AMFm Ad Hoc Committee • 19th Board meeting: decision on the Governance structure for the oversight and performance monitoring of implementation of Phase 1 • Independent technical evaluation of AMFm roll-out • Work and support of the RBM Task Force, UNITAID and other partners acknowledged and their support requested to develop and implementation of AMFm
Funding Decision • Round 8 Phase 1: proposals to be approved for funding—collectively subject to a 10% efficiency adjustment: max. limit of $2.753Bn for P1 • Category 1’ and ‘Category 2’ with composite indices 8, 6, and 5 • Round 8 Phase 2: Collectively be subject to a maximum limit of $3.087Bn* (75% of the P2 amounts in the R8 recommended proposals). • New Rolling Continuation Channel (RCC): RCC 1 approved by the Board each be subject to a limit of 140% of the amount of the incremental funding approved for the P2 period of the relevant expiring grant. • Phase 2 and RCC: Efficiency savings of 10% (US$0.5Bn) until 31 December 2010, in P2 renewals of existing grants and upcoming RCC renewals • Round 9: deadline for submission of proposals extended to 6/2009. • *Limit may be partially or fully relaxed If new resources become available
Decision: Approval of Round 8 • The Board approves for funding for an initial two years those Round 8 proposals recommended for funding by the Technical Review Panel (TRP) as ‘Category 1’ and ‘Category 2’ with composite indices 8, 6, and 5
Category 2 Composite Index 3 and Category 2B Round 8 proposals recommended for funding by the TRP and identified as ‘Category 2’ proposals with composite index 3 and ‘Category 2B’ will be approved for funding for an initial two years (subject to): • through Board confirmation by email (or, if appropriate, at the 19th Board Meeting), as funds become available under the terms of the Comprehensive Funding Policy; and • based on the composite ranking of such proposals in compliance with Board’s decision entitled ‘Prioritization in Resource Constrained Environments’

Topics of discussion (1) • Gender • Overall, fewer proposals were 'gender transformative' • However, more diversity (and strength) when included • No proposal 'not recommended' if did not include gender • Opportunity for 'case studies' to be released for R9
Topics of discussion (2) • Health Systems Strengthening: • Cross-cutting HSS requests 'possible' in Rd 8 formulation • Yet, WHO Building Blocks not optimal as 'operational framework' on which to prepare integrated responses to constraints, leading to 'formulaic' elaborations of HSS needs (Note: Few requests in Financing; Leadership/Governance) • Community Systems Strengthening • Most proposals included some level of CSS activity • Covered the full range of activities • However, not easily 'extracted' for analysis/proof of concept
Extract of specific recommendations • Delay applying for funding if no track record for performance:Especially when applicants are requesting 'scaling up' of activities from an earlier grant that has not started/not signed, or just beginning • Value for money: pre-TRP financial review of 'large budgets' • Health workforce salary requests: recommendation for Global Fund to identify principles that guide requests for salary support – with particular focus on National HR plans • Eligibility for multi-country proposals: Reduce proposals that 'select' eligible countries rather than focusing on epidemiological/social/political issues
