A new opportunity for NGOs to participate in the Global Fund processes; the technical assistance opportunity is offered to ensure improved capacity and participation of civil society groups.
The Global Fund believes that a successful response to AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria rests on the meaningful engagement of all actors, including civil society and particularly key populations.
At the same time, it 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.
The following types of organizations are eligible to receive support under the CRG technical assistance program:
Civil society networks and organizations
Key Population networks and organizations
Women’s networks and organizations
Networks or organizations of people living with/or affected by the diseases (PLHIV, TB and/or malaria)
Applications from Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) will be considered if developed and submitted in collaboration with one of the above group
