Notes

(1) The column “CCM Requested Amount” is provided for reference only. The figures with the superscript (1) in this column represent CCM requested amounts which either exceeded the limit of the original Phase 2 amount (i.e. [Lifetime proposal amount (adjusted)] – [Phase 1 grant agreement amount] or included Phase 1 undisbursed amount.

(2) The Serbia Round 6 HIV, Benin Round 6 TB and two Senegal Round 6 HIV proposals were approved in Euro and the respective CCMs have requested Phase 2 funding in Euro. To give the Board the most up-to-date picture of what the EUR/USD equivalent is at the time of the Phase 2 submission, the recommended incremental funding amount has been computed in USD using the rate of exchange that is published by the International Monetary Fund on its website on 30 April 2009 (Euro1 = US$1.3275).
