ABSTRACT "The Aidspan Guide to Round 5 Applications to the Global Fund" has just been published. The 83-page Guide discusses factors that lie behind some of the questions asked in the Round 5 proposal form, and distils conclusions that can be drawn from the successful proposals that were submitted to the Fund in Rounds 3 and 4.

“The Aidspan Guide to Round 5 Applications to the Global Fund” has just been published. It is accessible at no charge atĀ www.aidspan.org/guides, where three previous Aidspan Guides are already available.

The 83-page Guide discusses factors that lie behind some of the questions asked in the Round 5 proposal form, and distils conclusions that can be drawn from a detailed analysis of the successful proposals that were submitted to the Global Fund in Rounds 3 and 4.

The Guide is not intended to tell readers what they “should say” in their applications to the Fund. The objective instead is to de-mystify the application process and to provide a clearer feeling of what is expected. It is based on the premise that there is no single “correct” way of completing the proposal form. It encourages applicants to clearly describe their plans to tackle HIV, TB, or malaria; and to make a convincing case that the plans are viable, capable of delivering the anticipated results, and something that the applicants are committed to and capable of implementing.

The main sections in the Guide are as follows:

Chapter 1: Introduction and Background

  • Overview of the Global Fund
  • Who is Eligible?
  • Description of the Applications Process and the Steps Following Grant Approval
  • Some Key Concepts to be Used in all Proposals

  • Deciding Whether to Consider Submitting a Non-CCM Proposal
  • Deciding Whether to Consider a Regional Proposal
  • Deciding Whether to Consider a Sub-National CCM Proposal
