(supplemented when needed by external missions)

PATH Country: DRC, Tanzania, Myanmar:Develop, introduce, and expand the use of innovative health technologies to diagnose TB and drug-resistant TB. India Strengthen health systems and build collaboration across sectors.Bangladesh; Making TB a notifiable disease.Nigeria: Foster enabling environments that involve communities in TB efforts.

TB and HIV single concept note

• Global Fund Guidance notes issued• Johannesburg Workshop WHO, GF, UNAIDS, and Pepfar with

TB and HIV country teams in High TB/HIV burden countries in East & Southern Africa (February 2014).

• Joint consultant orientation in Nairobi April.• Meetings with WHO HIV, UNAIDS, GF technical advisors to

exchange information• Over 70% of Global TB Burden with GF funding now needs to

develop single concept notes.

Challenges for the coming yearTBTEAM partner support for Global Fund Concept notes

• 58 countries are applying for TB in the New Funding model in 2014

• TBTEAM Partners are engaged in supporting 30 countries undergoing TB concept note development this year and another 28 countries submitting single TB/HIV concept notes.

• WHO/GF agreement for 29 million to support processes leading up to concept note development 2014/2015 (9 million for TB).

Page 19: TB Technical Assistance Mechanism (TBTEAM) Annual Report 2013

Challenges for the coming yearGlobal Fund: funding constraint

• Overall around 2.56 billion of funding is available for TB from the Global Fund for the next 4 years- most of this is tied up in already approved funding:– Existing TB funding: US 1,672,468,360 – Additional funding: US 896,699,923 TOTAL US 2,569,168,282 Represents 642 million allocations per year.(Plus 10% of GF money is set aside for incentive funding) if proportionately

distributed would give TB 64 million a year extra)

• Funding constraints – Global Funding is flat-lining for the next 4 years– 2/3 of funding gap will not be provided by the global fund grants.– Laboratory expansion preceding MDR expansion– Costed NSPs give us a chance to monitor at country level

Page 20: TB Technical Assistance Mechanism (TBTEAM) Annual Report 2013

Challenges for the coming year (cont.)

• Keeping the eye on the ball for existing funding– Roll out of the new funding model… preserving the gains made in existing

funding: • Eg Mozambique focus on 3 million (27 not yet signed)

• Single Concept notes for TB and HIV– Ensure that TB component is quality product.– Early engagement technical assistance support. Meeting with HIV counterpart– Ensuring that TB priorities in timing, and funding allocations are not unduly

changed.

• Post 15 Global TB strategy– Partners and TA providers engagement with the roll out of post 15 Global TB

Strategy
