Dual Track Financing of Principal Recipients

With the establishment of the Round 8 call for proposals, the Global Fund recommends that applicants for grants routinely include a PR from both the governmental and nongovernmental sectors in each disease proposal. The Global Fund's recommendation arises from a recognition that comprehensive national programs that are designed to be implemented through a multi-sectoral approach may bring increased opportunities to:  

•  Raise awareness of accessibility to services, and therefore demand for them, including primary prevention services at the community and sub-national level
•  Scale up existing service delivery to a broader range of population groups or geographic regions 
•  Move more quickly towards providing access to prevention, treatment, and care and support to all persons in need, including, key affected populations and people who may not already be included in national disease programming
• Contribute to sustainability of programmatic interventions over the longer term through the increased capacity that comes from a broader range of inter-working implementing partners having complementary skills, including management and oversight capacities.
