EECA Countries Participating in the New Funding Model in 2013

In November 2012 at its Twenty-Eighth Meeting, the Global Fund Board approved aNew Funding Model (NFM) and requested its immediate launch. The Global Fund

The transition to the NFM will be implemented in 3 stages. It starts with invitation of thediverse mix of six countries and three regional programs to be early applicants for theNFM, going through all steps, from submission of a concept note to creation of a newgrant. The second stage of the transition phase will involve interim applicants, who willtest only select components of the NFM, since funding will be made available forrenewal and extension of existing grants.And finally standard applicants will be able toprepare applications to be submitted in 2014.

Early Applicants

On 28 February 2013 the Global Fund announced the names of the early and interimapplicants. Of the three regional programs invited to be early applicants one will befocused on HIV in EECA. Eurasian Harm Reduction Network (EHRN) is invited todevelop that proposal1. From among six countries selected to be early applicants one isfrom Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) - Kazakhstan is invited to develop TBproposal. A total of about $393 million will be reserved for all early applicants for the2013-2014 transition period. Of that amount, $248 million in indicative funding isavailable for the six countries; $29 million in incentive funding is potentially available to

those six countries; and $116 million is available for the three regional proposals (ofwhich 6 million will be available for EECA)2.
