Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail below and your interest in working with the Global Fund.  In order to better respond to your request to receive the RCC Proposal Form and Guidelines, we would like to ask for some further information on your organization. Please respond to us with the country in which you work, and whether you are a member of the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) in your country.  

We would also like to draw your attention to the following information on the proposal submission process for the current Round 8 'Call for Proposals': (Please note that this is a separate process from the Rolling Continuation Channel (RCC)).  

1. Applicants may apply for funding from the Global Fund by responding to a 'Call for Proposals'.  Round 8 was launched on 1 March 2008.  All relevant forms are currently available on the Global Fund website (http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/apply/call8/).

2. Typically, the Global Fund only receives proposals which have been developed through a consultative, multi-stakeholder process, and clearly demonstrate that they are in line with the country’s national disease prevention and control plans. This process would normally occur through the collaboration of an in-country group called the 'Country Coordinating Mechanism' (CCM).  We encourage you to contact the 'CCM' of your country and discuss your ideas.  Their contact information is available on the Global Fund website and found at this link: http://www.theglobalfund.org/programs/search.aspx?search=4&lang=en.

3. In response to your specific question, The Global Fund only provides financial support directly to NGOs in very limited circumstances.  These exceptions are explained in the Round 8 Guidelines for Proposals.  You will find this information at: http://www.theglobalfund.org/documents/rounds/8/GuidelinesR8_single_en.pdf.  

4. We also suggest that you read our 'Frequently Asked Questions' to more fully understand the Global Fund’s proposal process.  These 'FAQs' are available at the following link: http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/apply/call8/other/#1

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further queries.

Please note that the Proposals Hotline is available through the Round 8 Call for Proposals Forum at http://myglobalfund.org/forums/default.aspx?GroupID=60.
