grant approval committee

ABSTRACT The work of the Grant Approvals Committee has expanded the influence of the Global Fund over the contents of programmes financed through requests for continued funding.

Funding revisions to nine grants from Bhutan, Niger, South Sudan, Tanzania, Turkmenistan

ABSTRACT Of the $98 million approved by the Global Fund Board on 12 November 2018 for 14 country grants from 13 countries, $57.8 million went to countries in the Latin America and Caribbean region. This article repeats some of the overall grant approval information discussed in the first article on grant approvals in this issue, summarizes the LAC grants, and gives some detail on the Grant Approval Committee’s comments about the new grants for Belize, El Salvador, Panama and Paraguay.

ABSTRACT Nigeria submitted a TB/HIV funding request in May 2017 which was returned for iteration. Because the revised request has taken (and will take) considerable time to develop, and because the existing TB and HIV grants were scheduled to end on 31 December 2017, the Board has approved 18-month costed extensions for four existing grants. The extensions are to be funded from Nigeria’s 2017-2019 allocation. Meanwhile, the Grant Approvals Committee has reported “widespread frustration” with the slow progress towards impact of Nigeria’s TB grants

ABSTRACT In its second batch of approvals from the 2017-2019 allocations, the Global Fund Board has authorized funding of $1.25 billion for 32 grants to 15 countries. Included in this total were five matching funds requests valued at $22.9 million.
