 clearconscience:Though that iam not officially involved with the global fund nor the CCM;the communities iam serving,the interest of the global fund,the interest of donors to the global funds and the global interest etc encourages me to be involved in this forum.Anyway, iam not against the bylaws of the global fund as relating to the composition of the CCM in each country.But i have a question:Why should the country CCM machanism be independent?- independent in the sense that, each country is allowed to form her CCM.Are you sure that such a policy is suitable to African countries.How do you quarantee that, community organizations,people living with hiv/aids etc forms the composition of the CCM in each country? Another question is that, which mechanism do you employed to monitor the efficient utiliztions of the global funds grants by African countries?Iam not in position to expantiate this point,i will like the global fund to remember that 90% of the population of the communities in the rural âreas of Africa has never benefit from the global fund funded projects.Does anybody has a say?
The Global Fund finances programmes that reflect country ownership. A CCM is a key part of the Global Fund architecture because it is a public-private partnership where all stakeholders in a country come together to fight the three diseases: AIDS, TB and Malaria. The Global Fund does not have country presence and relies on this body, the CCM, to submit funding requests and oversee the same funded programmes.
There are many successful and well functioning CCMs in Africa that have received Global Fund financing. All CCMs are required to show evidence of membership of people living and or affected by the disease before they can be funded. In that way the Global Fund is sure that the community of people living/affected by diseases is part of the CCM. All stakeholders in a country have a say through the CCM.
The Global Fund has systems and procedures and human resources for monitoring the use of the funds as per the grant agreement signed with each country. In addition there is a Local Fund Agent, an organisation appointed by the Global Fund in each country to monitor and verify implementation and use of the funds as per the detailed plans included in a grant agreement signed between the Global Fund and the principal recipient of the funds in each country.
You can also find more information about whether people are benefiting from the Global Fund resources, and you can view this in the Global Fund website: www.theglobalfund.org. You can there select a country, the funds that have been provided, and how that money has been used.

dolores:
I totally agree that each country should be given the authority by Global Fund to be able to determine size of their CCMs. However, we did this last year and we were told that we would not be eligible for funding because the Global Fund has a list of members which each country needs to abide to. So, we have had to include members who have no interest or commitment to the cause just to meet funding eligibility. How do we put this across to the GF? They need to know that their requirements for CCM are unrealistic for smaller populations/nations and needs to be reviewed so that the CCMs are functioning properly. As individuals working on the ground and out in the field to deliver Global fund initiatives, we are also accountable to our beneficiaries, not just to our donors.
The Global Fund Guidelines on the Purpose, Structure, Composition and Funding of Country Coordinating Mechanisms and Requirements for Grant Eligibility state that a CCM should determine the details of its functioning, including organizational structure, election procedures, frequency of meetings, terms of references, among others.
The Global Fund encourages that CCMs should remain of a manageable size in order to work and discharge responsibilities effectively. It is important to emphasize that size is not an eligibility requirement for CCMs. At present membership in most CCMs ranges from 15 to 45.
In terms of composition, The Global Fund recommends that CCMs should be composed of the following:
- Academic/Educational Sector
- Government
- NGOs/Community-Based organizations
- People living with HIV/AIDS, TB and/or Malaria
- Key Affected Populations
- Private Sector
- Religious/Faith-Based organizations
- Multilateral and Bilateral Development Partners in-country
It is further recommended that the non government sector should at a minimum be 40% of the CCM membership. The only requirement on CCM membership that can make a CCM not eligible for funding is failure to show membership of People living with HIV/AIDS, TB and/or Malaria. One member is sufficient to meet this requirement.
The CCM is public-private partnership consisting of various stakeholders in a country and is key to the Global Fund model of operation. There are many reasons for lack of interest from CCM members, each country would be better placed to understand why and put measures in place to address them.

I have read through the varying comments on this important topic and wish to share the following:
It is true that size matters but representation is also equally key to the success of CCM objectives. Gambia has a CCM membership covering all sectors except for TB and Malaria! We are looking at how to get at least TB represented. Malaria we consider that CCM members are victims and are therefore representatives.
The Gambia CCM size is 30 and we meet every two months and the meetings are conducted well and we cover our agenda which includes review of each PRs performances and confirmation that all CPs have been met or not and why and what action is being taken to close them as a matter of urgency.
Minutes are circulated to the members before meetings and each meeting allows members to air their views. I take it that it takes solid leadership and focus at the CCM level to make the difference
For your information we still have not got a CCM Secretariat

Dear Dr Mohammad Fareed,
The structure of your CCM is very interesting for me. Can you tell me briefly the ToR of these committees? Or if it is possible can you send me them as attachment by e-mail? Why? Because firstly we also wanted to establish Executive Committee within the CCM. But then the members didn't agree with this idea because the meaning of executive concerns to the decision-making level. It means a level smth higher than the CCM itself. So we changed it into Advisory Board.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Vusalya
