- . the epidemic in a vulnerable population in the country targeted in the proposal is of such a nature and/or magnitude that there is risk of accelerated spread within that vulnerable population and significant additional external resources are required to adequately address the epidemic.
- Applicants with higher income levels should contribute through appropriate levels of counterpart financing and domestic investments.
- Applicants must be included in the list of Official Development Assistance recipients published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee.
