  1. The Global Fund - Proposal Process & Round 8 February 19, 2008

  2. Key Actors & Roles

  3. Call for Proposals Board launch of a new Round:'Call for Proposals' Released minimum once per yearon the GF Website Submission deadline: 4 months after Call GF Screening for eligibility Independent TRP review: 11 days, 35 members Board Approval

  4. Call for Proposals Each CALL is supported by: • Guidelines • FAQ – Fact Sheets • Proposal Form & attachments Together, this informs Applicants about: • What is being funded – 3 diseases only • Who is eligible • How to apply

  5. Proposal Development - Overview 1. Applicants (CCM, Sub-CCM, RCM, RO or Non-CCM) 4 months to develop & submit proposals • Proposal development = country-led process  We do not advise countries on the precise contents of proposals  Technical Assistance is provided by partners (WHO, UNAIDS…) 3. What we can doexplain processes + confirm basic eligibility requirements  Through e-mail: proposals@theglobalfund.org  Through “information sessions” organized by technical partners

  6. Requirement of the approval of whole CCM The CCM is the custodian of the proposal during its development, and continues to have an ongoing important role in overseeing implementation and harmonization with other programs during the program term. CCMS must have transparent processes to develop proposals All CCM members should sign the proposal to certify that they have reviewed the final proposal and support it.

  7. India's transparent Rd 6 proposal process • CCM made transparent call through nationwide newspaper adverts • Also used other print media and website for announcements (RFP) • RFP told applicants what to apply for

  8. Pakistan's Rd 6 PR selection process Competitive Public Process  30 applicants expressed interest. CCM advertised expression of interest in 3 languages/print media Formal responses to adverts Selection by committees Final Endorsement by CCM

  9. Cote d'Ivoire involvement of 'other stakeholders' • Letter from CCM sent out to Non-CCM stakeholders to participate in 2 workshops focusing on proposal review and development • CCM also submitted a list of workshop participants, the agenda and an action plan for broad based involvement in the proposal development and review process.

  10. Key Issues for the CCM (and TRP!) • Is the Work Plan and Budget aligned with the strategy of the proposal and with each other? • Is the proposal consistent with existinggrants and/or does it link to previous submissions? • Does the proposal anticipate future program realities? • Who will implement program? Is the PR known? • Are there any needs for technical and management assistance & are these clear?
