Proposal Development and Review Process

Assessment of the Proposal Development and Review Process of the Global Fund

At the recommendation of the Technical Evaluation Reference Group (TERG), the Global Fund commissioned an independent evaluation of the process through which proposals are developed, submitted, subjected to a technical review and then sent to the Global Fund Board. The Euro Health Group was selected through an international competitive tender to conduct the assessment at both global and country level. At global level the assessment was conducted through in-depth telephone interviews with key informants and observation of the Technical Review Panel Round 5 review; and at country level through visits to five purposely selected countries in Africa and Asia, supplemented by telephone interviews with key informants in two Latin American countries.

An independent advisory panel was convened to assist in guiding the conduct of this assessment, and included members of the Technical Evaluation Reference Group, former members of the Technical Review Panel, and representatives of civil society, UN and non-UN technical assistance agencies.

The evaluation was informed by a variety of partners and stakeholders and provides an independent and constructive review of the procedures in use and their strengths and weaknesses. This information will be used by the Global Fund to strengthen and refine the proposal development and review process.
