Eligibility requirements

These are the six minimum criteria that all Country Coordinating Mechanisms must meet in order to be eligible for funding:

  • Eligibility Requirement 1: A transparent and inclusive funding application development process

  • Eligibility Requirement 3: Overseeing program implementation and having an oversight plan
  • Eligibility Requirement 4: Document the representation of affected communities
  • Eligibility Requirement 5: Ensure representation of non-governmental members through transparent and documented processes
  • Eligibility Requirement 6: Develop, publish and follow a policy to manage conflict of interest that applies to all Country Coordinating Mechanism members, across all Country Coordinating Mechanism functions

Requirements 1 and 2 are assessed by the Global Fund Secretariat at the time that the funding application is submitted.
