ABSTRACT This article provides information on Global Fund-focused technical assistance for Round 11 being offered by some of the major TA providers.

This article provides information on some of the major organisations providing Global Fund-focused technical assistance (TA). The article highlights two types of Global Fund-focused TA: (1) TA to help applicants with the development of their Global Fund proposals for Round 11; and (2) TA for programme implementation and institutional development. Note, however that this is not an exhaustive list of TA providers.

TA for proposal development is not provided by the Global Fund and cannot be funded from proposal or grant budgets. Therefore, this type of TA needs to be sourced from providers such as those listed in this article.

TA for programme implementation and institutional development covers areas such as programme and financial management, procurement and supply management (PSM) and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). It also covers institutional development and broader organisational issues such as governance and leadership. Funding for this type of TA can come from proposal or grant budgets. In their Round 11 proposals, applicants are required to provide information on their TA plans for programme implementation.

TA is available from the following sources:
