Overview
As one of the initial steps of the Funding Request preparation the working group developing the funding request must complete the Programmatic Gap Tables described in the next section.
Development of the Funding Request is guided by the Global Fund’s modular framework (updated for allocation period 2023-2025), which sets out the key areas of programming (‘modules’) for each of the three diseases and for building resilient and sustainable health systems. Example of modules include:
- Vector control (for malaria)
- TB care and prevention (for tuberculosis)
- Prevention programmes for general key populations (for HIV)
- Health and community workforce (for health systems strengthening)
- Removing legal barriers to access (for human rights-related programming)
Each module is broken down into individual interventions, the associated budget and the indicators against which the program progress is to be measured.
The outputs of the Programmatic Gap Table are then translated into a Performance Framework and, after negotiations during the Grant Making stage, becomes a part of the Grant Agreement.
The Performance Framework sets out what the grant is intended to achieve, specific targets and how achievement should be measured. The menu of impact, outcome and coverage indicators provided in the modular framework supports the selection of relevant indicators for grant performance assessment.
The Global Fund has developed disease- specific for more detailed information to assist with data collections and reporting on the HIV, TB, malaria and RSSH indicators outlined in the Modular Framework Handbook.
The Global Fund does not require the submission of an M&E Plan at the funding request stage. However, the National disease-specific Strategic Plan (NSP)which should be developed prior to, or in concert with, the funding request needs to include an appropriate review and evaluation mechanisms, and to describe how the results from these mechanisms will be used to improve the particular disease programme.
It is important for UNDP as Principal Recipient (PR) to start working early with the ministry of health, national disease programmes and the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) to achieve the following:
- Ensure that a functional routine reporting system with reasonable coverage is in place to report against national targets timely and accurately; if not, a plan to address the gaps in coverage must be developed and included in the National costed M&E Plan;
- Engage technical partners (WHO, UNAIDS) to support required data collection and analysis at the national and subnational levels; and
- Share tools and practices related to M&E with the ministry of health and national disease programmes.
