The Global Fund’s New Funding Model: Early Outcomes for Regional Civil Society Applicants

The Global Fund's New Funding Model: Early Outcomes for Regional Civil Society Applicants
This report provides an assessment of the challenges and opportunities encountered by Eurasian Harm Reduction Network (EHRN) during the process of preparing, negotiating, and beginning to implement a regional civil society application under the new funding model (NFM) as an early applicant. In order to ensure the NFM catalyzes regional applications from civil society, particularly those applications focused on civil society-led advocacy and mobilization for policy change, this report also provides recommendations to the Global Fund and relevant partners based on these experiences. In particular, this report explores the role, involvement, and participation of civil society and key affected populations at each step in the process.

The report, prepared between December 2013 and January 2014, is the result of a review of EHRN’s efforts at each step in the NFM early application process (up to January 2014), including the regional dialogue process, concept note development, selection of grant Sub Recipients (SRs), grant negotiation with the Global Fund Secretariat, and grant-making. The author completed a desk review of relevant documents provided by EHRN, the Global Fund Secretariat, and other stakeholders and conducted interviews with a range of participants who had engaged in different steps in the process, including EHRN staff, UN partner organizations, donor organizations, national and international civil society organizations, networks of people who use drugs, networks of people living with the diseases, consultants involved in the concept note drafting
process, and Global Fund Secretariat staff.

This 2014 training from the Global Fund offers a recap of the core principles of the new funding model (NFM) and emphasizes an inclusive country dialogue process to achieve its goals. The NFM guidance focuses on:

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

Key Changes under the New Funding Model

Key Changes under the New Funding Model
This 2014 powerpoint presentation published by the Global Fund focuses on inclusiveness of country dialogue as it relates to the timing of concept note submission and access to funding. Country dialogue is essential to deal with strongholds of infection among young women and girls; men who have sex with men; sex workers; people who inject drugs and prisoners. If stakeholders hope to address this epidemic, it is necessary to deal with the strongholds and to have tools available for the most vulnerable. These goals require an inclusive human family.

Community, Rights, Gender and the New Funding Model: Global Fund Briefing for Technical Assistance Providers

Community, Rights, Gender and the New Funding Model Global Fund Briefing For Technical Assistance Providers
This March 2014 briefing from the Global Fund inludes 60-plus slides that are intended to aid technical assistance providers. The Global Fund recognizes that communities often lack access to the knowledge and information necessary to play an active role in Global Fund processes. Moreover, the impact of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria programs is often limited because they pay insufficient attention to barriers related to human rights, gender, and other inequalities and exclusions. In order to ensure that all those who are affected by the three diseases play a meaningful role in Global Fund processes, and that these barriers are effectively addressed in grants, the Global Fund Board has approved a special initiative to provide technical assistance to communities and civil society.
