A systemized and regularized alert tool was developed for this purpose. Recognizing that in-country stakeholders already face many challenges and are overstretched at this time, the tool is designed to be as light as possible with the focus on critical-to-know information.
The key objectives of the monitoring approach are to:
Trigger certain actions by the Global Fund’s CRG Department, Global Fund Country Teams, other technical partners, etc. (depending on the issue)
Serve as an early warning system for the Global Fund to indicate things may be going off track so that stronger actions can be taken;
Identify innovative and successful community-led solutions in a timely manner, sharing these so that other countries may benefit from the ideas;
Allow the Global Fund to compare trends over time and across countries and regions;
Reduce the need for ad-hoc requests for information from the Global Fund; and
Provide communities with a formal communication channel to report the issues/innovations they are facing with HIV, TB and malaria programs amid the COVID pandemic
If you are aware about any COVID-related issues which have impacted the work of the Global Fund supported HIV and TB programs in your country - please complete the following form and provide us with any of such information.
