Dear Sanveej Kumar,

Thank you for your message.

In response to your enquiry we note the following points: 

1. As explained in section 2.2.4 of the Round 8 Guidelines for proposals and in the Round 8 Fact Sheet on Dual Track Financing, Dual Track Financing (DTF) is the Global Fund’s recommendation that applicants routinely include a Principal Recipient from both the government and non-government sectors in each disease proposal (and not each sub-activity).
   
2. DTF is a recommendation and not a mandatory requirement in Round 8, as it is recognized that it may not be possible in all settings. 
    
3. In situations where it is not possible to include DTF in one disease proposal, applicants are requested to summarize the reasons why DTF is not included, in section 2.2.6 of the Proposal Form.
   
4. It is possible for a government institution to be sub-recipient of a non-government PR. We encourage you to look at examples of Round 7 Proposals available on our website.
   
5. During its review the TRP will assess implementation arrangements including the described capacity of the nominated PRs to manage additional funding and implement the program. We encourage you to look at sections 2.2.4 and 4.9 and Annex 2 of the Round 8 Guidelines for more information regarding PR capacities and TRP review criteria.

We hope this information is helpful.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further enquiry.
