THE GLOBAL FUND – Disbursements to South Africa

Included in the SANAC Secretariat is the Donor Co-ordination Unit that provides the secretariat function for the South African Global Fund Country Co-ordinating Mechanism (GFCCM), a SANAC structure responsible for developing concept notes to raise maximum funding from the Global Fund and then ensuring that these funds are accessed and used to optimal effect.
To do this the SANAC secretariat works with Principal Recipients (PRs), organisations selected by the CCM to implement the grant, and the GFCCM Oversight Committee that does most of the detailed work for the GFCCM in regard to its important oversight function. The SANAC secretariat assesses and builds PR capacity, and provides guidance and support. It also coordinates site visits, and face-to-face interactions with PRs, sub-recipients and sub-sub-recipients, and provides analyses and technical support to the GFCCM Oversight Committee and the GF CCM.
Presently SANAC has a Global Fund grant covering the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2016. The six PRs for this grant are the National Department of Health (NDoH), Western Cape Department of Health (WCDoH), Soul City, Networking AIDS Community of South Africa (NACOSA), the National Religious Association for Social Development (NRASD) and Right to Care (RTC).
In the financial year April 2014 to March 2015 the SANAC secretariat aimed to ensure that the Principal Recipients accessed a total of 80 million USD from the Global Fund. Between April 2014 and 31 December 2014 the Global Fund disbursed 89.7 million USD in total amongst the 6 Principal Recipients.
