What is the CCM?

At the country level, the South Africa Country Coordination Mechanism (CCM) is a partnership composed of all key stakeholders in the country’s response to HIV and Tuberculosis. The CCM does not handle GF financing itself, but is responsible for submitting proposals to the GF based on priority needs at the national level, and nominating the entities accountable for the PRs. After grant approval, the CCM oversees progress during implementation.

Global Fund Allocation

Background

In order to be eligible to submit a funding request on behalf of a country, and to utilize and implement a Global Fund allocation, each Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is evaluated to ensure it meets certain standards of governance, transparency and inclusivity. 

In accordance with Global Fund guidelines, CCM eligibility requirement 2 requires that a CCM facilitates an open and transparent Principal Recipient selection process. This is assessed by the Global Fund Secretariat when a CCM submits a funding request (Please see) https://www.theglobalfund.org/en/country-coordinating-mechanism/eligibility/).

​

 

Grant Extension

The Global Fund has confirmed an extension for the current GC6 Grants to facilitate the successful completion of the remaining clarifications from the Technical Review Panel (TRP) for the GC7 proposal.

These Grants will now run for an additional six months, covering the period from 1 April to 30 September 2025; hence the GC7 grants will commence on 1 October 2025 and cover the period until 31 March 2028.

Participate: Global Fund Grant Cycle 7 Consultation

ccm logo final 2023 02

In December 2022, the Global Fund allocated South Africa an additional $536,040,497 (R8 billion) for HIV and TB programs to be implemented from April 2025 to March 2028. To access this funding, the South African Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is developing a funding request to the Global Fund, due on 09 September 2024. It is important that the funding request be strategically focused and technically sound. It must be aligned to the National Strategic Plan on HIV, TB and STIs, and reflect the issues and priorities of South Africans in their diversity. This survey invites you to engage in shaping the broad funding priorities, which will inform more in-depth discussions at constituency consultations in Feb-March. The survey should take about 20-25 minutes to complete. The deadline to complete the survey is 31 March 2024.

Participate: Global Fund Grant Cycle 7 consultation

The CCM deeply appreciates and greatly values your contributions to this national initiative of ending HIV and TB

Let our actions count!

Announcement of SA Global Fund Principal Recipients to implement the 2019-2022 grant

On 9 October 2018, the South Africa Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism (SA GF CCM) endorsed Principal Recipients (PRs) to implement the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria request for funding that will cover the April 2019 – March 2022 period.

The Principal Recipients (PRs) are:

For HIV, the request focuses on delivering comprehensive and integrated service packages for key and vulnerable populations, including adolescent girls and young women, sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people and people who inject drugs. For TB, the investment is geared towards finding the missing people with TB, supporting the National Department of Health’s quality improvement plan. To ensure that these disease programs are implemented effectively and efficiently, supporting investments are requested to remove gender- and human rights-related barriers to access, and strengthen the country’s procurement and supply chain, health information systems, and community-led responses.

The investment is expected to contribute towards the achievement of targets in South Africa’s National Strategic Plan for HIV, TB and STIs 2017-2022.

CCM Structure

The GF CCM oversees grant implementation as mandated by GF requirements. Oversight entails a coordinated set of activities focused on gathering and analysing information, taking action, and communicating progress/bottlenecks. It addresses the ‘big picture’ of whether the grant is achieving its goals. It is designed to ensure:

  • grant activities are implemented as planned;
  • accountability of funds and value for money;
  • implementation issues and bottlenecks are identified and resolved; and
  • Support required by PRs is appropriately provided.

The Oversight Committee is responsible for providing oversight to existing Global Fund grants in South Africa in three key
areas:

  1. Financial – ensuring the appropriate, timely and effective use of Global Fund resources;
  2. Management – ensuring the timely and effective implementation of PR and SR workplans; and
  3. Programmatic – ensuring the achievement of intended results in both the short and intermediate term periods.

Ethics

An ethics sub-committee is appointed by the GF CCM to review all grievances relating to areas where a sanction may be necessary or clarity on any potential conflicts of interest. The members of this sub-committee will be chosen by the full GF CCM and report to the GF CCM chairperson and co-chairperson. The sub-committee meets between GF CCM meetings as needed.

In regard to conflicts of interest, the aim is to have a committee that will investigate grievances of this nature, and to enable members to clarify whether a conflict of interest exists in a particular situation or not. The committee will provide guidance on what action should be taken when conflicts of interest occur. The committee will also improve the knowledge, understanding and practise of managing conflicts of interest in the GF CCM and other structures.
