Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your question and your interest in the Round 8 forum.
Please find below some information about the proposal submission process for the Global Fund:
1. Applicants may apply for funding from the Global Fund by responding to a 'Call for Proposals'. Round 8 was launched on 1 March 2008. All relevant forms are currently available on the Global Fund website
(http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/apply/call8/).
2. Typically, the Global Fund only receives proposals which have been developed through a consultative, multi-stakeholder process, and clearly demonstrate that they are in line with the country’s national disease prevention and control plans. This process would normally occur through the collaboration of an in-country group called the 'Country Coordinating Mechanism' (CCM). We encourage you to search for the CCM in your country through the Global Fund website: http://www.theglobalfund.org/programs/search.aspx?search=4&lang=en.
3. The Global Fund only provides financial support directly to NGOs in very limited circumstances. These exceptions are explained in the Round 8 Guidelines for Proposals. You will find this information at: http://www.theglobalfund.org/documents/rounds/8/GuidelinesR8_single_en.pdf.
4. We also suggest that you read our 'Frequently Asked Questions' to more fully understand the Global Fund’s proposal process. These 'FAQs' are available at the following link: http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/apply/call8/other/#1
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further queries.
