Principles of the new funding model
Principles
of the new
funding model
•
Bigger impact: focus on countries with the highest disease burden and
lowest ability to pay, while keeping the portfolio global
•
Predictable funding: process and financing levels become more
predictable, with higher success rate of applications
•
Ambitious vision: ability to elicit full expressions of demand and reward
ambition
•
Flexible timing: in line with country schedules, context, and priorities
•
More streamlined: for both implementers and the Global Fund
3
How does the new model differ from the
previous model?
From previous model
• Passive role by the Secretariat in
influencing investments
• Timelines largely defined by the Global
Fund
• Hands-off Secretariat role prior to Board
approval
• Low predictability: timing of Rounds,
success rates and available funds
• Cumbersome undifferentiated process to
grant signing with different delays
To new funding model
• More active portfolio management to
optimize impact
• Timelines largely defined by each
country
• Engagement by Global Fund Country
Teams in country dialogue and concept
note development
• High predictability: timing, success rates,
indicative funding range
• Disbursement-ready grants with
differentiated approach

Indicative & incentive funding
Indicative
funding
• Gives predictability to countries on funding they can
expect
• Provides for the prioritized expression of needs
• A special reserve of funding available on a competitive
basis.
Incentive
funding
‾ Will be awarded to applications that demonstrate the
greatest potential for high impact with additional
funds
‾ Encourages ambitious requests based on national
strategic plans

Essential info
& process
Section 1: Summary information about the request
Section 3: Country context and response
Section 5: The funding request, including a programmatic gap
analysis & the modular template
Content
Section 4: Overall funding landscape, additionality of
resources requested & financial sustainability
Section 6: implementation arrangements and risk assessment

Modular approach framework
•
The modular approach is a framework used to
structure the information that defines a grant
Program level
•
It runs throughout a grant's lifecycle, providing
consistency at each stage
– During the concept note stage, a funding request
is defined by selecting a set of interventions per
module to align with national strategy
– During the grant making stage, each approved
intervention is further defined by identifying and
describing the required sets of activities
– During grant implementation, progress of each
intervention is monitored as laid out in the prior
stages

Accelerated
How long will it take to access funds?
Country can move more rapidly because it has:
• Up-to-date and costed national strategic plan or
investment case with agreed priorities
• CCM is able to rapidly coordinate stakeholders
• PRs are well performing
6 months
Average
2 months

Concept note writing
TRP and GAC review

From Board approval to 1st disbursement
Time from dialogue to 1st disbursement
Country may need moderate amount of time to:
• Conduct country dialogue to agree on priorities and consult stakeholders
• But has well performing CCM and PRs

4 months

Country may need significant time to:
• Develop clear strategy or viable extension plan through grant period
• Strengthen capacity for PR
• Reach agreement with the CCM

3 months*
Note: TRP reviews will be scheduled to accommodate the most programs. If there is no TRP scheduled in the month the
Concept Note is submitted, the “TRP and GAC review” stage may take longer, up to 3 months
* This is the anticipated average scenario – it may take longer in some countries.

Minimum standards for PRs
The Global Fund will now expect grant implementers to meet 9 minimum
standards
1
The PR demonstrates effective
management structures and
planning
4
The financial management system
of the Principal Recipient is
effective and accurate
7
Data-collection capacity and tools
are in place to monitor program
performance
2
3
The PR has the capacity and
systems for effective management
and oversight of sub-recipients (and
relevant sub-sub-recipients)
The internal control system of the
Principal Recipient is effective to
prevent and detect misuse or fraud
5
Central and regional warehouse have
capacity, and have good storage
practices to ensure adequate
condition, integrity and security of
health products
The distribution systems and 6
transportation arrangements are
efficient to ensure continued and
secured supply of health products
to avoid treatment disruptions
8
Implementers have capacity to 9
comply with quality requirements
and to monitor product quality
throughout the in-country supply
chain
A functional routine reporting system
with reasonable coverage is in place
to report program performance timely
and accurately

1. HSS - options for requesting under NFM
1. Developing Concept Notes for eligible diseases without
cross-cutting HSS (HSS formerly known as disease-specific
HSS is still allowed)
2. Including HSS module(s) under one or more disease
Concept Notes
3. Developing a separate HSS Concept Note for a stand-alone
HSS grant
4. Developing a consolidated Concept Note by including eligible
diseases and HSS under one funding request
25
2. Joint TB and HIV applications
• In 2012, 1.1 million (13%) of 8.6 million people who developed TB worldwide were HIVpositive.
• In the same year, 1.3 million died from TB, of which 320, 000 were people living with HIV.
• The highest rates of TB and HIV co-infection are in Africa, where 43 percent of TB patients had
a positive HIV test result in 2012
Recognizing the importance of core TB-HIV collaboration services, the
Board’s Strategy, Investment and Impact Committee decided that:
Countries with high co-infection rates of TB and HIV shall submit a single
concept note that presents integrated and joint programming for the two diseases
(GF/SIIC09/DP6)

Note
• All regional applicants must submit an expression of interest (EOI) before developing a CN
• A review of EOI will take place to determine: eligibility; strategic focus and regional impact;
potential indicative amounts
• Only eligible and strategically focused applications can submit a CN
• Two submission windows: one in 2014 and one 2015
