  6. A new way of doing business • Supports programs that evolve from national plans to fill critical gaps at country level • Recognizes only a country driven, coordinated approach for proposal development and implementation • Its core function remains that of financing, disbursing and managing new funds • Relies on its partnerships with other development and technical partners, civil society and the private sector to support countries in delivering effective programs and services to communities in need

  15. The Process Used by the Global Fund • Global Fund calls for proposals (March 1st) • CCM collaborates to prepare proposals • CCM submits proposals to the Global Fund and recommends principal recipients • Secretariat screens the proposals for elegibility • Technical review panel reviews proposals and submits to the Global Fund Board for approval

  16. The Process Used by the Global Fund • Global Fund appoints a Local Fund Agent (LFA) • LFA assesses capacity of principal recipients (PR) • Secretariat negotiates a grant agreement with PR • Global Fund signs a two-year grant agreement • Disbursements are made to PR on the basis of performance in a form of progress updates • PR may disburse to sub-recipients as implementers

  17. Who Implements Global Fund Grants? Estimates from Rounds 2-6 proposals 100% = $4,1 billion USD OP/290607/5

  18. Sustainability/ Ownership Accountability Speed The Global Fund’s model for grant accountability • Rely on local stakeholders at the country level to implement programs and manage grant proceeds • As far as possible encourage the use of existing standards and processes • Monitor and evaluate programs and make decisions on future funding based on performance and accountability • Promote rapid release of funds to assist target populations
