• The HCC maps potential implementation partners and works with WHO to ensure that NGO implementing partners undergo due diligence & prepare relevant proposals.

• The HCC works with WHO to make sure that NGO implementing partners receive the funds in a timely manner and follow up on implementation. (Regular consultations).
