2017-2019 allocation

By:Aidspan 4 NEWS AND COMMENTARYJun 29th 2022 ABSTRACT In July the Global Fund’s Strategy Committee will meet to agree what the Secretariat calls the “transparent and accountable process for qualitative adjustments”. Qualitative adjustments are refinements to formula-derived allocations to account for epidemiological, programmatic and other factors insufficiently addressed through the allocation formula, to maximize the impact of Global Fund resources in line with its Strategy. Given the ambitions of that Strategy, there is tremendous pressure on the Allocation Methodology to ‘get it right’ and the qualitative adjustments are an important part of this. Will the controversies aired by Board constituencies at the SC meeting that agreed the 2020-2022 process be repeated this time round?

ABSTRACT Global Fund implementer countries are not on track to spend grant-funds in the current allocation period. With three months left to the end of 70% of active grants, an analysis of a sample of implementer countries shows that only 82% of available funding has been disbursed. The countries will need to adopt more robust measures to improve absorption amid COVID-19.

ABSTRACT In May, the Global Fund Board approved five new country grants in four countries: Gabon, Georgia, Peru and Serbia. The Board also approved two multi-country grants and 18 sets of interventions from the Register of Unfunded Quality Demand.
