河南女性抗艾社区组织网络
成立大会及项目管理培训会议顺利召开
2010年5月19 —23日，河南女性抗艾社区组织网络成立大会及网络成员项目管理能力培训会在绿城郑州召开，来自河南省各地的女性社区组织代表及及志愿者20余人参加了此次大会。
大会分为三个主要内容：
一、河南女性抗艾社区组织网络成立大会；
二、由来自倍能中心的张菊芳老师为大家进行项目管理能力培训；
三、由来自社区的专家何田田和张志军为大家进行自我认同和社区工作技巧的培训。
会议开始，与会人员在一片欢声笑语的融洽气氛中相互自我介绍，通过介绍中又进一步增进了彼此的了解，加深了印象。随后与会人员对河南女性抗艾社区组织网络章程进行了认真地讨论和修改。最终在大家热烈的掌声中，章程获得通过。接着，各社区组织填写了网络成员申请表，自愿加入河南女性抗艾社区组织网络，成为了网络第一批正式成员。并通过网络成员自荐、推荐的方式选举出五位核心组成员，通过投票在核心组中选举产生组长一名，副组长两名。在大家热烈的掌声中，河南女性抗艾社区组织网络正式宣告成立。
接下来的三天时间里，张菊芳老师为大家进行了项目规划、项目管理、项目监测与评估等一系列培训，并带领大家进行实战训练，通过分组讨论、展示、分享使大家强化记忆，结合小组的自身情况进行项目管理的模拟操作。模拟操作均以各个小组的真实状况为基础，具有很强的指导性和可操作性。
在随后进行的会议评估中，大家纷纷表示学到了实实在在的知识和技能，对于项目管理方面的思路更加清晰，此次培训对小组工作的进步和发展有非常好的推动作用。
最后一天由何田田和张志军老师为大家进行自我认同和社区工作技巧的培训。首先何田田老师通过小游戏的方式，教大家发现自我，进行自我认同。通过自我询问：你参与社区（小组）工作的真正动机是什么？现在你最大的困惑是什么？未来三年，你个人、你的小组最想做的事情是什么？使大家理清思路，挖掘出大家参与社区工作的深层原因，理智地看待并且接受自己和外界。通过这些分析更加清楚明确自己的目标，更加富有激情地做好小组的工作。
接着由张志军老师侧重于谈社区工作技巧，从细节入手，讲解了丰富的实用策略和技巧，给大家很大的启发和帮助。张老师还细心地整理出了一套完整的项目活动档案供大家随时参考。

1. NEWS: Round 10 Has Been Launched
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The Global Fund's 10th round of funding was launched yesterday (20 May 2010). Applications must be submitted by 20 August 2010. Thus, applicants will have three months to prepare their proposals, one month less than in recent rounds.
There is considerable uncertainty concerning whether sufficient funds will be available to pay for all of the Round 10 proposals that are recommended for funding by the Technical Review Panel (TRP). In both Rounds 8 and 9, initially there were insufficient funds to cover all recommended proposals, and some proposals had to be "wait-listed." However, eventually, as more funds came in, all recommended proposals were approved. This may happen again in Round 10, or it may not: It depends on the total cost of the TRP-recommended proposals and on how much money the Global Fund is able to raise from donors. At its meeting in April 2010, the Global Fund Board decided that only funds received by the end of 2011, for use in 2011, can be used to finance recommended Round 10 proposals. (For details, see "Round 10 to Be Launched on May 20" in GFO 122 at www.aidspan.org/gfo).
Round 8, in 2008, was the largest round ever, representing costs of $3.1 billion for the first two years of approved proposals. For Round 9, the costs were $2.2 billion. (These figures are prior to the 10% "efficiency gains" mandated by the Board.)
The Global Fund says that, currently, based on confirmed pledges, no money is available for Round 10. However, the Global Fund is in the middle of a "replenishment," with donors due to specify in October how much they expect to give to the Fund over the next three years. Thus, the amount of money available for Round 10 will certainly increase by the time the Global Fund Board approves Round 10 proposals at its meeting in December 2010.
The determination of how much money can be used for Round 10 will be based on uncommitted money that donors provide for use up to 31 December 2011. The Global Fund says that it "hopes for a successful Replenishment process which will enable all Round 10 TRP recommended proposals to be funded," but that "no assurances regarding the level of available resources can be made at this time."
(The Global Fund's full statement on money available for Round 10 can be found at www.theglobalfund.org/en/applicantsimplementers/resources.)
The Round 10 proposal form and various support documents will be available in six languages at www.theglobalfund.org/en/applynow. (When we went to press, some language versions had not yet been posted.) Applicants should be sure to follow not just the links provided on the main part of that page, but also those under the first few menu options on the left side of the page.
The major changes for Round 10 are as follows:
- Consolidated proposals. For the first time, applicants have the option of submitting a consolidated proposal instead of a "regular" proposal. A consolidated proposal is one that includes both new activities and activities from existing grants for the same disease. This is in line with the move towards a single stream of funding per disease per principal recipient (PR). (See Article 2.)
- Prioritisation criteria. New prioritisation criteria have been adopted for Round 10. They will be invoked if there is not enough money on hand to fund all Round 10 proposals recommended by the TRP. If this occurs, the recommended proposals will be ranked according to the prioritisation criteria and will be funded based on their ranking (if and when funds become available). The new criteria are based on a composite index that takes into account the proposal's technical merit (as determined by the TRP), the country's poverty level and the country's disease burden. (For details on the composite index, see "New Prioritisation Criteria Give Less Weight to Technical Merit" in GFO 122 at www.aidspan.org/gfo).
- MARP proposals. In Round 10, for the first time, applicants from countries that have concentrated HIV/AIDS epidemics within "most-at-risk populations" (MARPs) have the option of applying for funding specifically for MARPs under a new funding stream. (See Article 3.)
- Community systems strengthening (CSS). Increased emphasis has been placed on CSS in Round 10. A new question has been added to the proposal form, asking for a description of weaknesses and gaps in existing community systems. Applicants are also required to provide information on what is being done to address these weaknesses and gaps. Also, the Global Fund's information note on CSS has been updated. Finally, an 81-page "Community Systems Strengthening Framework" document has been developed. The CSS Framework is primarily aimed at strengthening civil society engagement with the Global Fund. It should be useful to applicants who want to ensure that their proposal includes solid strategies to strengthen community systems. The CSS framework is available at www.theglobalfund.org/documents/civilsociety/CSS_Framework.pdf. GFO will report further on the CSS Framework in a future issue.
- Conditional recommendations by the TRP. In Round 10, for the first time, the TRP can recommend approval of a proposal conditional on the removal of a limited set of elements. The removal of these elements is not subject to appeal.
- "Value for money." In Round 10, the Global Fund is asking applicants to demonstrate that their proposed programme represents good value for money, which the Fund defines as "using the most cost-effective interventions" and "the optimal use of resources to achieve the intended outcomes." The Global Fund says that good evidence on the value for money may not yet exist in many countries, so the TRP will not penalize applicants for not providing this evidence in Round 10. For Round 10, the Global Fund has produced an information note on this topic, at www.theglobalfund.org/documents/rounds/10/R10_InfoNote_VfM_en.pdf.
- TA Plan. Applicants whose Round 10 proposals are approved for funding will be required to prepare a Technical Assistance Plan (TA Plan) describing in considerable detail the TA that is included in its proposal. The TA Plan should be prepared at the time of grant negotiations. However, if the country context does not permit that, the applicant will have up to the end of the first years of the grant to submit the plan. The TA Plan does not have to be submitted with the proposal, but a summary of what will be in the TA Plan does have to be included. This is similar to the existing rules that require that a Pharmaceutical and Health Products Plan and a Monitoring and Evaluation Plan be prepared prior to grant signing, and that summary information on these topics be included in the proposal.
Other changes for Round 10 include the following:
- Review criteria. The criteria used by the TRP have been updated to incorporate recent policy decisions by the Global Fund on topics such as gender equality, sexual orientation and gender identity, and community systems strengthening. (For details, see "Changes to the TRP Review Criteria" in GFO 122.)
- Gender. Questions on the proposal form about the capacity and experience of CCM members on gender issues have been strengthened.
- M&E. A new question has been added on impact and outcome measurement systems. Applicants are asked to provide information on surveys, surveillance activities and routine data collection that will be used to measure impact and outcome indicators relevant to the proposal.
- Salaries. In Round 10, applicants are being asked to demonstrate that budget amounts in their proposal for salaries are consistent with current in-country salary frameworks. This appears to be a response to concerns that some salaries paid with, or topped-up by, money from the Fund may have been out of line with what other people in the heath sector were earning.
In addition, improvements have been made to the proposal form. The instructions are, generally, more clear, and most of the guidance that was contained on past proposal forms has been relocated to the Guidelines for Proposals document.
All proposals submitted by the closing date will be reviewed by the Global Fund Secretariat to ensure that they meet the Fund's eligibility criteria. If something in the proposal is not clear, the Secretariat will contact the applicant and request clarification. Eligible proposals will then be forwarded to the TRP for consideration. The TRP will make recommendations to the Global Fund Board, which will make its decisions at its meeting scheduled for 13-15 December 2010. (In the past, all proposals recommended by the TRP for approval have indeed been approved by the Board, though sometimes they have been waitlisted pending funding availability.)
When the TRP members review the proposals, they will do so in their personal capacities – they must not share the information with or accept any instructions from their employers or their national governments. In deciding whether to recommend each proposal for approval, the TRP will take into consideration only technical factors, such as whether the project described in the proposal is technically sound, whether it is one that the specified organisations are capable of implementing, and whether it represents good use of the money. The TRP is required to ignore the question of whether it believes the Global Fund has enough money to pay for all of the proposals that it is recommending.
Once a proposal is approved by the Board, the Secretariat will enter into a lengthy and complex process of: (a) ensuring that the applicant answers, to the satisfaction of the TRP, any questions that the TRP asked regarding the proposal; (b) assessing the ability of the proposed PRs to perform the roles that the proposal assigns to them; and (c) negotiating grant agreements with the PRs. It is only after this multi-month process that the first cash disbursement will be sent. Thus, although proposals have to be submitted by 20 August 2010, it is unlikely that the first disbursements will be made for successful proposals before the middle of 2011.

2. NEWS: Applicants Can Submit a Consolidated Proposal in Round 10
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As mentioned in Article 1, Round 10 applicants have the option of submitting a consolidated proposal, instead of a regular proposal, if they are eligible and ready to transition to a single stream of funding.
If applicants are submitting a proposal for a particular disease, and if they already have one or more existing grants for that disease, and if at least one of those existing grants will have at least 12 months of implementation time remaining from the proposed start date for the programme covered by their Round 10 proposal – then these applicants are eligible to transition to a single stream of funding. (By definition, applicants that do not meet these criteria are not eligible to transition to a single stream of funding in Round 10.)
Round 10 applicants that are eligible to transition to a single stream of funding are given three options:
OPTION 1: Transition to a single stream of funding by submitting a consolidated proposal in Round 10. In a consolidated proposal, proposed new activities are consolidated with existing grants for the same disease. This would result in the applicant signing one or more single-stream-of-funding grant agreements, should its proposal be approved for funding.
OPTION 2: Transition to a single stream of funding during Round 10 grant negotiations. Under this option, the applicant would submit a regular proposal in Round 10, but indicate that it wishes to consolidate its Round 10 proposal with existing grants for the same disease during grant agreement negotiations. This would also result in the applicant signing one or more single-stream-of-funding grant agreements, should its proposal be approved for funding.
OPTION 3: Defer, for the time being, any decision about transitioning to a single stream of funding. Applicants that choose this option will be able to transition to a single stream of funding some time after the Round 10 funding applications period. If they have not done so by the start of Round 11, they may be required to submit a consolidated proposal in Round 11, depending on whether they submit in Round 11, what they submit and what the status of their existing grants is at that time.
It is important to note that in order to transition to a single stream of funding in Round 10 (i.e., Options 1 or 2), applicants do not necessarily have to re-nominate an existing PR in their Round 10 proposals. Applicants have several choices. They can (a) redistribute continuing existing grant activities among existing PRs; (b) allocate continuing existing grant activities to a newly nominated PR; (c) allocate new activities to an existing PR; or (d) allocate new activities to a newly nominated PR – or some combination of the above. This information, which is contained in the Round 10 Guidelines for Proposals, is significant and may be new to many readers. It means that while a country would end up with a single-stream-of-funding grant agreement per disease per PR, the grants being consolidated wouldn't necessarily have the same PR as before.
If an applicant chooses to submit a consolidated proposal (Option 1), it will fill out the same proposal form that is used for regular proposals. However, some of the questions are different for consolidated proposals; and, frequently, additional information specific to consolidated proposals has to be provided. For example:
- The applicant must describe, in a consolidated fashion, objectives, service delivery areas (SDAs) and activities for both the new activities being proposed and the activities of existing grants for the same disease and PR(s). However, the applicant must distinguish between new and existing activities.
- The applicant must also describe what changes in activities or targeted populations, if any, have occurred for those interventions that are from existing grants; what links there are, if any, between the new activities and existing activities; what links there are, if any, between the proposed activities and existing Global Fund grants for other diseases or for health systems strengthening; and how duplication will be avoided where there are linkages.
- The applicant must list the SDAs and activities of existing grants being consolidated within the Round 10 proposal; explain whether and to what extent each SDA and activity from an existing grant will be included in the Round 10 consolidated proposal; and provide justification for any proposed changes.
- The applicant must describe any major changes in indicators and targets for activities from existing grants that are being consolidated, and provide a rationale for changes that are significant.
- The budget must include costs for the consolidated disease proposal – i.e., for both new and existing activities. The applicant must also provide the requisite budgetary detail (budget assumptions, unit costs, etc.) for the entire Round 10 funding request, not just for the new funding.
- The indicators and targets as shown in the Performance Framework must be for the consolidated disease proposal – i.e., for both new and existing activities.
Aidspan Comment
The rationale for transitioning to a single stream of funding is sound. For one PR to have several grants for one disease creates a lot of bureaucracy for both the PR and the Global Fund. Much of this can be avoided if multiple grants are consolidated into one.
Applicants that are certain that they want to transition into a single stream of funding in Round 10 will save considerable time during the grant negotiations process if they choose Option 1 (submitting a consolidated proposal) rather than Option 2 (transitioning during Round 10 grant negotiations), because most of the work relating to consolidation will have already been done by the time grant negotiations start. Therefore, Option 1 might be attractive to applicants that are already working on grant consolidation.
However, Aidspan believes that most applicants would be better off not submitting a consolidated proposal in Round 10 (i.e., not choosing Option 1), for the following reasons:
- Grant consolidation is a complicated process, and there is as yet very little guidance available on how to do it.
- This is the first time that the Global Fund has designed a proposal form to accommodate consolidated proposals, so there are likely to be some glitches.
- Choosing to submit a consolidated proposal makes a complicated proposal form even more complicated.
- Applicants only have three months in which to prepare their proposals, instead of the usual four.
Applicants that are eligible to transition to a single stream of funding, but that decide not to submit a consolidated proposal in Round 10, can still transition to a single stream of funding in Round 10 by selecting Option 2 (transitioning during Round 10 grant negotiations). Or they can choose Option 3, and put off transitioning until some time after the Round 10 funding applications period.

3. NEWS: Applicants Can Submit a MARP Proposal in Round 10
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As mentioned in Article 1, Round 10 applicants from countries that have concentrated HIV/AIDS epidemics within "most-at-risk populations" (MARPs) have the option of applying for funding specifically for MARPs under a new funding stream.
This funding stream is open to all applicants (CCMs, Sub-CCMs, RCMs, ROs and Non-CCMs). However, the applicant has to choose whether to submit a MARP proposal or a "regular" HIV/AIDS proposal; it cannot submit both types of proposal in Round 10. Nor can the MARP proposal include a cross-cutting HSS component. (An applicant that submits a proposal through the MARP stream can still submit separate TB or malaria proposals through the regular stream; the TB or malaria proposals can include a cross-cutting HSS component.)
Applicants can submit a MARP proposal for up to $5 million for Phase 1 and up to $12.5 million for the entire proposal. There are limits as well on the total size of the funding stream for Round 10: The total amount to be approved across all Round 10 MARP proposals is capped at $75 million for Phase 1 and $200 million for the full proposals.
MARP proposals can focus on one or more most-at-risk populations. The Global Fund defines these as "populations at high risk for HIV infection which demonstrate a higher HIV prevalence than the general population with particular emphasis on men who have sex with men, transgender people and their sexual partners; female, male and transgender sex workers and their sexual partners; and people who inject drugs and their sexual partners." Applicants submitting MARP proposals must meet the same eligibility criteria as applicants submitting regular proposals.
The MARP funding stream was established because of concerns that the new prioritisation criteria adopted for Round 10 (see Article 1) would place lower- and upper-middle-income-country applicants with concentrated epidemics at a disadvantage. The new funding stream seeks to address this disadvantage by providing a separate channel where proposals from middle-income countries do not have to compete against proposals addressing generalised epidemics in low-income countries.
When it established the MARPS funding stream, the Global Fund said it was "strongly recommending" that applicants from lower-middle- and upper-middle-income countries submitting MARP proposals clearly demonstrate increasing government contribution over the proposal lifetime. The Board said that this was something the Technical Review Panel (TRP) would consider in formulating its recommendations.
Theoretically, it would be possible for a Non-CCM applicant to submit a MARP proposal for Round 10 even though the CCM for that country is submitting a regular HIV/AIDS proposal – because they are not the same applicant. And, in theory, both could be approved. However, a proposal from a Non-CCM applicant would still have to meet the stringent eligibility criteria for Non-CCM applications (see "Deciding Whether to Submit a Non-CCM Proposal" in Chapter 2 of Volume 1 of "The Aidspan Guide to Round 10 Applications to the Global Fund" at www.aidspan.org/guides). See also the Global Fund's new information note on Non-CCM proposals at www.theglobalfund.org/documents/rounds/10/R10_InfoNote_Non-CCM_en.pdf.
In the event that there is insufficient money on hand to pay for all recommended MARP proposals, prioritisation criteria will be used to rank proposals. These criteria are similar to those used for regular proposals, except that the country's poverty level is not included in the composite index. (For more details, see Decision No. GF/B21/DP18 in the Board Decisions document at www.theglobalfund.org/en/board/meetings/twentyfirst.)
In the event that a TRP-recommended proposal is not able to be funded under the MARP stream because the maximum resources allocated for this stream have been exhausted, the proposal will be grouped together with proposals in the regular funding stream, using the prioritisation criteria established for that stream.
Applicants wishing to submit a MARP proposal should use the same proposal form that is being used for regular proposals. On the first page of the proposal form, applicants are asked to indicate if what they are submitting is a MARPs proposal. The Global Fund has issued an information note on MARPS proposals, at www.theglobalfund.org/documents/rounds/10/R10_InfoNote_MARP_en.pdf.
Some of the information for this article was taken from "Understanding the New HIV Funding Stream for Most-at-Risk Populations in Round 10," produced by Friends of the Global Fund, Latin America and the Caribbean, available in English at http://bit.ly/FactSheetMARPFundingStream and in Spanish at http://bit.ly/HojaInformativaFMR10.

4. NEWS: Global Fund Protests Malawi Prison Sentence for Two Gay Men
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The Global Fund today (21 May 2010) issued an unusual press release protesting the conviction and sentencing of two men in Malawi based on their sexual orientation.
"The criminalization of individuals based on their sexual orientation is not just a human rights issue – it also undermines investment in HIV and AIDS as it drives sexual behaviour underground and creates an environment where HIV can more easily spread. This ultimately affects the broader population," said Prof. Michel Kazatchkine, Executive Director of the Global Fund. In southern Africa, more than 50% of men who have sex with men also have sex with women, the Fund said.
The Fund added that in addition to providing HIV treatment, care and prevention services, money from Global Fund grants can be used to create strong communities of men who have sex with men and other risk groups "so that they can be active in their own HIV prevention campaigns." The press release added that for optimal impact from money spent on tackling HIV, countries need to review laws that criminalise groups most at risk.

5. NEWS: Volume 2 of "The Aidspan Guide to Round 10 Applications" Will Be Available Very Shortly
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Aidspan will issue the English version of Volume 2 of "The Aidspan Guide to Round 10 Applications to the Global Fund" within the next few days. French-, Spanish- and Russian-language versions should be available about two weeks after that.
"Volume 2 – The Applications Process and Proposal Form" will contain details on the Round 10 applications process and will provide guidance on filling out the proposal form. The guidance will include numerous extracts from proposals approved for funding in previous rounds. There will be two separate versions of Volume 2 – one for single-country applicants and one for multi-country applicants.
"Volume 1 – Getting a Head Start," is already available. Volume 1 provides guidance on how CCMs can manage the proposal development process, including the process of soliciting in-country submissions; and discusses factors that potential applicants should consider if they plan to submit a regional or Non-CCM proposal. In addition, Volume 1 describes what initiatives the Global Fund will support; explains who is eligible to apply; summarises the applications process; and provides a series of links where potential applicants can obtain information concerning the development of the technical content of their proposals. The information on technical content is considerably expanded from Aidspan's Round 8 guide. Finally, Volume 1 provides a list of documents that the Global Fund recommends applicants read before they prepare their application.
Volume 1 of "The Aidspan Guide to Round 10 Applications to the Global Fund" is available in English, French, Spanish and Russian at www.aidspan.org/guides. Volume 2 will be posted on this same site when it becomes available.
