  7. Key Issues for Grant Negotiation • Budgets alignment • Indicator alignment • Work plan alignment • Technical assistance during implementation • Incorporating M&E • LFA assessments/CPs/capacity building • Opportunities/needs for technical assistance?

  8. Performance-based funding & grant support Performance-based Funding 3.1 Ongoing Reviews & Disbursements 3.4 Grant Extension 3.3 Phase 2 Grant Renewal Process 3.2 Grant Revisions 18 months since first disbursement Phase 2 Go/No Go Decision Updated Grant Agreement Oversee implementation process; Coordinate with other donors and domestic programs Submit Request for Continued Funding for Phase 2 CCM Principal Recipient Legally accountable for grant implementation; Request disbursements and provide periodic reports of progress Negotiate Phase 2 Grant Extension Support PR with capacity building and technical assistance throughout program implementation Provide comments/assessments to CCM and to Global Fund regarding program performance Partners Facilitate negotiation of Phase 2 Grant extension Monitor grant implementation; Verify PR reports of progress; Provide recommendations on ongoing disbursements Local Fund Agent Provide recommendation Regarding Phase 2 Funding As needed, revise policies governing grants management; Board Commit resources for Phase 2 Renewals Decide to disburse based on performance; Work with partners to assure support to PR implementation Negotiate Phase 2 Grant Extension Review Phase 2 Request for Continued Funding Secretariat Assess Phase 2 funding request if requested Technical Review Panel Provide technical review of requests for changes in scope of grants Disburse funds in accordance with written instruction of Secretariat Trustee ARCH/300704/6

  10. Performance-based funding The Global Fund’s system for Performance-Based Funding was developed in order to: • Relate disbursements to achievement of targets • Provide incentives for grantees to focus on results and timely implementation • Early identify opportunities to expand effective efforts and address potential issues • Provide a tool for the CCM’s oversight and monitoring purposes • Free up committed resources from non-performing programs for re-allocation to programs where results can be achieved PBF/300704/2

  11. Performance-based funding: What Performance-Based Funding Programmatic monitoring Financial monitoring Linking ongoing disbursement to attainment of programmatic results and financial expenditures PBF/300704/1

  12. Key Issues in Performance Base Funding • Reaching targets • Disbursements and utilization of funds • Procurement and activities • Sub-recipient performance • Timely reporting • Reliability of data • Opportunities/needs for technical assistance?

  13. Portfolio update: lessons learned • Good practices • Many grants are implementing, showing progress, and require minimal intervention • Strong management by Principal Recipients • Active CCMs, engaged in program oversight • Partners involved and providing technical assistance • Implementation challenges • Some grants are implementing at a concerning slow pace and unable to achieve targets and will require special intervention • Overambitious work plans and programs • Lack of capacity • Slow disbursements of funds • In some cases, lack of facilitation by the Global Fund • Capacity of partners to cope with growing technical assistance needs PERF/300704/2

  14. 25 one year old grants: Disbursement rates by performance status Status A: On track or substantially exceeding one year target (n=12) Status B: Substantial progress but fall short of one year targets (n=8) Status C: Substantially underachieving against one year targets (n=5) PRS/300704/22

  15. Performance rating system M&E/300704/9

  16. Technical partnerships with and local support from multilateral and bilateral agencies are critical to credible and consistent collection of data for M&E The role of partnership • Technical partners • Support countries in • proposal development • with operational plans • Provide on-the-ground • assistance to countries to • enable implementation • Assist in monitoring & • evaluation with reporting • systems & data gathering • Offer additionality of financial resources and coordination • The Global Fund • Provide substantial, sustained financing • Contribute to advocacy for • resources to partners • providing technical • support to grantees • Endorse and apply technical guidelines in reviews Successful implementation at scale PART/300704/1
