Multicountry Funding Applications
The Global Fund serves the needs of countries, but diseases don’t respect borders, and sometimes the most effective solution is one that brings together several countries or regions.
Through multicountry funding, the Global Fund aims to address a limited number of key multicountry priorities, deemed critical to fulfill the aims of the Global Fund Strategy 2017-2022 and not able to be addressed through country allocations alone.
Multicountry strategic priorities
The Global Fund identified a key multicountry strategic priority for each disease for the 2017-2019 funding cycle:
| Component | Multicountry strategic priority | Funding (US$ millions) |
|---|---|---|
| Malaria | Malaria elimination in low-burden countries | 145 |
| TB | Finding the missed people with TB | 65 |
| HIV | Sustainability of services for key populations | 50 |
| Total | 260 | |
Within each multicountry strategic priority are specific priority areas.
While several priority areas had pre-identified applicants, there was a competitive application process for the majority of priority areas. For more detail, refer to the guidance note and frequently asked questions at the bottom of this page.

Competitive application process: Requests for proposals
For priority areas with a competitive application process through requests for proposals, any eligible applicant could submit a funding request to the Global Fund.
The requests for proposals application process has concluded for the 2017-2019 funding cycle.
A core part of each request for proposals was a terms of reference document outlining the scope of the future grant(s). The Global Fund drafted a terms of reference for each priority area. The draft was then be subject to consultations. External consultations took place through different engagement modalities. For more details, contact the respective focal points listed in our guidance note below. Numerous terms of reference were also opened for consultation on our website.
Each finalized terms of reference became an integral part of a request for proposals. Applicants needed to address the requirements reflected in the terms of reference while preparing their funding request. Requests for proposals were published on our website.
The expected number of grants for each priority area was defined and potential applicants were encouraged to work together to prepare a joint submission that fully meets the terms of reference.
