Rolling Continuation Channel (RCC)
In 2006, the Global Fund Board of Directors approved a policy (Global Fund/B14/DP7) whereby high-performing grants could be extended beyond their initial term for a maximum of another six years. The policy was subsequently modified at the November 2007 Board meeting, Decision Point Global Fund/B16/DP8.
The primary qualification criteria are:
Strong performance (i.e., an "A" rating in 50% of periodic reviews over 18 months)
Evidence of impact the grant has made
Sustainability of the activities under the grant
