The Role of the CCM

• Coordinates the development of proposals for funding national programmes
• Nominates (PR) to undertake programme implementation
• Oversight of the PRs to support programme performance

• Ownership of Global Fund grants, reprogramming of funds or change of PR
• Coordination among partners to promote harmonization among donors and

Role of the CCM Member
• Represents an entire constituency – not one organization or individual
• Consults constituency in all CCM decisions
• Shares information and communicates openly with constituency members
• Role requires that all CCM discussions are well documented to ensure
transparency and effective participation
• CCM members cannot delegate their role to a committee or to CCM

select members with the necessary capacities and commitment
The Global Fund depends on three key bodies in recipient
countries to administer and manage its grants : Principal
Recipients, Country Coordinating Mechanisms, and Local Fund
Agents
The Principal Recipient(s) is the
legally accountable party in
country which disburses to subrecipients and ensures reporting
of results to the Global Fund

The Local Fund Agent is the
"eyes and ears" of the Global
Fund in country, assessing
Principal Recipients and
advising the Global Fund on
ongoing performance
The Country Coordinating Mechanism
(CCM) is the local partnership that
develops proposals for the Global
Fund and oversees grants – the CCM is
central to the Global Fund’s
commitment to transparency and local
ownership
