Overarching Principles: Country DialogueCountry Dialogue is a key feature of the Global Fund’s funding model and should be open, inclusive and participatory, and include key stakeholders, including key populations and civil society in the country. The program split (considering eligible diseases and resilient and sustainable systems for health)
and
the funding request
must
be discussed and elaborated through an inclusive dialogue. Applicants must conduct consultations and discussions with all relevant stakeholders, including civil society and key populations, and in-country technical partners, on the proposed funding request (capitalizing on the gains from the previous country dialogue processes). 2Slide4
Who plays a role in country dialogue? These groups meet in the CCM; however, the dialogue should expand beyond the CCM

Demonstrate compliance with eligibility requirements only: no
technical assistance
support required (superlight)Differentiating the Eligibility and Performance AssessmentAn annual portfolio
analysis to identify components for standard review. CCM categorization will be updated at the end of every year, based on the last available Eligibility and Performance Assessment and new Community, Rights and Gender information. Human rights and gender considerations:Countries where there may be challenges to engage key populationsCountries where relevant human rights/gender related activities are not appropriately addressed in the current program
Countries which will have scaled-up gender, human rights, key populations
and community response programmingSlide10
Requirement 1: Country dialogue
is a key feature of the Global Fund’s funding model and should be open, inclusive and
participatory.
Requirement 2: The
PR(s) must be selected following a transparent and documented process, whereby any conflicts of interest are appropriately managed.
Coordinate the development of all funding applications through transparent and documented processes that engage a broad range of stakeholders, including CCM members and non-members – in the solicitation
and the review of activities to be included in the application.
Clearly document efforts to
engage key population groups in the development of funding applications, including most-at-risk populations.
Nominate one or more
Principal Recipient(s
) at the time of submission of their application for funding.
Document a transparent process for the nomination of all new and continuing PRs based on clearly defined and objective criteria.
Document the management of any potential conflicts of interest that may affect the
Principal Recipient
nomination process.

ngoing community, key & vulnerable populations engagement throughout grant cycleSlide13
Sample questions for CCM representatives to use when reaching out to their constituencies for program continuation dialogue • Please describe how key and vulnerable populations who are the targeted populations of your program are included in the process of reviewing and developing a request for program continuation. Are all the populations targeted in the current program represented in the CCMs?
If
not, how do you ensure their meaningful engagement in the continuation of the
program?
• During the previous implementation period, has there been any formal/informal feedback from key and vulnerable populations on the quality and the content of the program? If so, has it been taken into account for program improvement, please explain how?• Are there any major changes in the implementation environment/context that may negatively impact engagement of key and vulnerable populations in the program? – if so, please describe measures to mitigate the risks • Are there human rights and/or gender-related barriers impacting the grant implementation to achieve maximum outcomes? If so, is any intervention to address those barriers included in your request for program continuation?

Principal Recipient proposedDuring the 2014-2016 allocation period, very few applicants proposed to reselect a poor performing Principal Recipient (B2 rating or lower), and about 20% proposed new Principal Recipients.
For requirement 2, the screening will depend on the type of Principal Recipient selected. Light review if a well-performing Principal Recipient is selected; Standard review if a poor performing or new Principal Recipient is selected. In the event the re-selected Principal Recipient has rating of B2 or lower, this will be flagged to the Risk team to allow for mitigation measures where relevant. Slide17

Key messagesCountry Dialogue is a key feature of the Global Fund’s funding model and should be open, inclusive and participatory, and include key stakeholders, including key populations and civil society in the country. This remains true even when there is a short window for development of the program continuation request or funding request. Depending on previous assessments, applicants will submit different documentation for assessment of compliance with Eligibility Requirements 1
and
2. The specific requirements will be communicated in the allocation letter.
