Make or Break: How civil society and communities can engage in Global Fund grant-making processes for the 2020-2022 cycle

This information note is an updated version of the one prepared by ICASO in 2017. The aim is to provide advice to civil society and community groups on how to engage in grant-making processes, once a funding request has been submitted to the Global Fund.

Following the submission of a funding request to the Global Fund, there is a critical role for communities and civil society to play. This information note describes the steps involved in moving from a funding request to a signed grant. It recommends entry points, resources, and technical assistance options to support civil society and communities during this phase of the funding model.

This information may be of interest to civil society and community representatives who sit in the Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) as well as disease-specific non-governmental organizations (NGOs), key and vulnerable population networks, gender and human right activists, and other groups that participated in the funding request development process.
