  5. Four Most Important Roles for the Private Sector

  6. Provision of technical assistance/critical core competencies • Monitoring and Evaluation • Program management • Procurement • Supply chain management • Communications • Transportation • Information Technology

  7. Challenges/Potential Barriers • Private sector seen as profit seeking and a “money pot” • Perceived conflict of interest • Minimal involvement with in country planning and grant cycle • Lack of knowledge about Global Fund mechanism • Lack of understanding of private sector approach and how to work with businesses • Global Fund mandate not clearly aligned with corporate social responsibility strategies

  8. Key Takeways • Companies are engaged in more than 5 different mechanisms with the Global Fund • Opportunities for partnerships: utilize core competencies through provision of in kind services, governance at the CCM and global level (PSD) to address programming gaps • Align business action and corporate investments with global and national initiatives • Leverage existing forums and mechanisms (eg. GBC conferences, PSD, CCM etc.) to bridge knowledge gap between private sector, the Global Fund and GF in country partners
