Transcript GF Proposal Development Flowchart
Kellie Wilson and Dave Burrows
Issues
One key area of improvement required for GF
proposals include the provision of:
stronger more comprehensive situation analysis
details on current and planned responses as well as
programs addressing vulnerability in general
comprehensive analysis of the programmatic gaps and
opportunities
honest and open discussion on the key challenges and
proposed strategies to address challenges in dealing
with the program gaps and issues
A Strong SRG Analysis Team
The team created to develop the National Situation, Response and Gap
Analysis should include multi-sector representation with people able
to bring the following:
an understanding of the country’s cultural traditions, history, and
political structure;
a familiarity with and ability to obtain the relevant social research;
access to a range of opinions and a variety of information;
capacity to think broadly across a range of complex social issues;
an understanding of how HIV is transmitted and how its transmission
and impact can be minimized;
an understanding of how social and economic circumstances affect the
spread of the virus and increase men’s and women’s vulnerability to
infection; and
an ability to be thorough and fair in studying and presenting the facts.

surveys

Broader development reports ie gender, poverty, cultural etc

Response & Gap Analysis
Questions to consider when preparing the Response and
Gap Analysis against the situation analysis:
What is working and needs to be continued?
What is working and can be expanded?
What is not working and needs a new, more strategic
approach?
What is not relevant to current needs and should be
dropped?
What has not been addressed at all?
