The Evaluation and Learning Office of the Global Fund is launching the request for proposals (RFP) for the end-term evaluation of the Global Fund’s COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM) and its contribution to the strengthening of sustainable health systems and pandemic preparedness. The overall purpose of the evaluation is to assess the effectiveness, coherence and sustainability of the contribution of C19RM, and to identify challenges and achievements to inform future pandemic responses and Global Fund investments. Findings from this evaluation are expected to inform the implementation of the 2026-2028 Global Fund Grant Cycle (GC8) and the post-2028 Global Fund strategy. Further utility will be to share insights and evidence from the C19RM for future pandemic preparedness initiatives. The evaluation is scheduled to commence in October 2025 and conclude in October 2026.
The RFP is open until 12 September 2025. A webinar will be scheduled on 25 August 2025, during which interested bidders can receive further background information on the evaluation and have an opportunity to ask questions regarding the scope of work and the application process.
