In FY07 UNAIDS successfully facilitated the development of a revised governance manual and structure for

the Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism. UNAIDS also successfully facilitated the transition from

the previous CCM membership to the membership that is now aligned with the adopted governance

manual. This process included hosting sector nomination meetings for PLWHA, private sector, acadamia,

development partners, and civil society. UNAIDS will have hosted the "Good Governance" seminar and

workshop for all CCM members, in conjunction with the Suriname CCM in September.

In FY08, UNAIDS will continue to support the CCM Secretariat in its operations as well providing support for

constituencies to meet with the CCM members prior to each quarterly, CCM meeting to ensure that

members are actively representing and communicating with the peers in their sector.

In January, 2008 Minister of Health, Leslie Ramsammy will be replacing Dr. Carol Jacobs on the Global

Fund Board. UNAIDS will operationally assist Minister in fulfilling the responsibilities of this position.
