The Global Fund is changing its funding model. The new model will change the way the Global Fund assesses, approves, disburses, and monitors grants to increase successful applications, improve implementation, and ultimately achieve greater impact. The new model will increase engagement between applicants and the Global Fund and provide implementers with more flexibility, predictability, and clarity.   Download this document.

A transition to the new funding model is underway. Access to funding in the transition phase is by invitation, and special consideration will be given to countries in a position to achieve rapid impact, those at risk of service interruptions, and those currently receiving less than they would under the new funding model’s allocation principles. There is diversity across regions and diseases and types of applicants, so that elements of the new funding model can be tested and refined.   Download this document
