OVERALL CONTEXT
• Overall international community increasingly focused on ways of making development assistance more effective
– “Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness” adopted in March 2005 by more than 100 countries and organizations including Global Fund1
• Global Fund:
– has founding principles2 consistent with the Paris principles
– has been supporting program-based approaches through its funding in many countries for a number of years3
– has been active in – and has endorsed the outcomes of – a number of international initiatives focusing on increasing aid effectiveness including:
∙ Development of the “Three Ones” principles led by UNAIDS4
∙ Global Task Team (GTT) on Improving AIDS Coordination among Multilateral Institutions and International Donors5
– challenged itself during development of its strategy to push further on implementing the Paris principles

• Global Fund Board at its Fifteenth Meeting in April 2007 decided in principle to establish a “Modified Application Process for Supporting Country Programs”, called “National Strategy Applications” (NSAs), aimed at increasing aid effectiveness by having partners mobilize around a single common agenda – the development, financing and implementation of robust national strategies
- NSAs to be requests for funding consisting of an existing national strategy – which has been validated against an agreed set of criteria using a non-Global Fund-specific validation approach – together with minimal additional information
- Global Fund Board called “upon all partners to develop a shared validation approach for national strategies and to allow, where relevant, the use of validated strategies as the basis for applications for funding.”

• Aligning with country priorities by allowing the use of national strategies as the main component of an application to the Global Fund;
• Harmonizing with the procedures of international partners by developing a “shared validation approach” for national strategies that is commonly accepted and, where relevant, used by international partners;
• Enabling improved focus on results and mutual accountability through national strategies developed through inclusive processes; and
• Optimizing absorptive capacity by addressing capacity gaps strategically as part of national strategies.
KEY BENEFITS OF THE NSA PROCEDURE
Unit of measure
* FootnoteSource: Source

Existing national strategies currently of variable quality and often not at a level to serve as the primary basis for a funding decision
All partners (incl. country stakeholders/technical partners/donors/GF) share keen interest in having robust, fundable, inclusive and country-owned national strategies that receive coordinated support from funders and technical partners
“shared validation approach for national strategies” to be based on:
• commonly-agreed validation attributes:– allow determination of which strategies are “good enough” to serve as
primary basis for financing decisions by a range of funders (including GF) – provide countries with clear guidance as to what constitutes a robust,
fundable national strategy.
• commonly-agreed conditions for validation approach: – provide opportunity to ensure approach is sufficiently reliable and credible
for all stakeholders (including for funders, such as GF, to make financing decisions on the basis of this validation approach)
