Since 2005, GFATM has provided to the DRC HIV program through the UNDP (the PR) $105,079,712 for

phases 1and 2 of the $113,646,453 of the approved Round 03 HIV budget 03. In addition, of the

$71,403,215 approved HIV round 07 grant, GF has signed with UNDP $22,675,188 in Phase 01 and has

disbursed $11,626,217 of this amount to UNDP already for program implementation. Recently, GF has

approved in Round 08 $234,540,691 HIV grant and $339,692,873 Malaria grant. The Malaria HIV round 8

phase 1 grant has been successfully signed by the PRs (UNDP, PSI and SANRU) with GF because of

several USG supported TAs to new civil society PRs (SANRU and CORDAID) to support the process of

grant signature and earlier implementation activities. A large number of sub-grants have been formalized

and are being implemented through partners countrywide. The implementation of these grants is really a

great challenge in DRC. Appropriate TAs are needed to CCM, PRs and Sub-recipients for better program

management and results achievements. USG has been working already to provide useful TA to the

GDRC. In addition to that, the USG has recruited a Global Fund Liaison who will be tasked with, among

other duties, the following: identifying opportunities to work side by side with government and other

counterparts including civil society to build capacity at all levels; participating in site visits, ensuring quality

implementation of activities and identification of program challenges; rapidly identifying potential

bottlenecks or problems and suggesting possible solutions; supporting proposal development and

transparency at all levels; and providing monitoring and evaluation support. The resources planned under

this activity will support the GL capacity to address the TA needs related to the management of GF

resources in DRC.

Funding for Health Systems Strengthening (OHSS): $0

Since DRC has received more GF resources, USG team has strategically allocated REDACTED to

provide TA to support the GF activities implementation in DRC. In coordination with USG team, the GF

Liaison will closely work with the CCM and PRs to identify the areas that need TA, develop appropriate

scope of works, identify TA providers, and oversee the implementation of the TA funded activities.
