In light of the current resource constraints, the Board decided to:

• Establish a Transitional Funding Mechanism (TFM), which replaces Round11, to provide funding for the continuation of essential prevention, treatment and/or care services of the three diseases currently financed by the Global Fund; 

• Develop a new funding model consistent with the Global Fund Strategy 2012-2016, with a view towards funding proposals under the new model beginning in early 2014.
