*e-Forum 2008: Discussions that impact on Global Fund strategy and policies*

Dear Global Fund Friend,

This month we are bringing you an update of the discussions that took
place in the e-Forum 2008 around the issue of "demand". The following
are the recommendations and ideas that members have posted regarding the
different discussion topics (click on the links to access the summaries):

-      Week 1: Factors that are preventing adequate scale-up to meet
demand and what the Global Fund or its partners could do to overcome them.

-      Week 2: Challenges related to the effective involvement of all
relevant sectors/actors in the development of programs at the country
level.

-      Week 3: Actions that could improve Global Fund's current processes.

-    Week 4: What the Global Fund could do to ensure better
predictability of sustainable funding at the country level in order to
allow ambitious scale-up.

We have now begun discussions on a new theme: *Implementation of
programs*. Discussions will focus on challenges and good practice in
implementing Global Fund funded programs, such as:

-        The division of labor and responsibilities between different
actors at the implementation stage of programs: Country Coordinating
Mechanisms, Principal Recipients, Sub-Recipients, Local Fund Agents,
Civil Society, the Private Sector;

-        The capacities of different actors to implement and oversee
programs, including the role of civil society and the private sector;

-        Issues of coordination between GF-funded programs and
interventions supported by other partners.

 The question for this week is (click on the question to participate):

**What issues related to the implementation of programs should be
addressed to improve the way in which the Global Fund is doing its
business?**

Your answer could include (but does not have to be limited to): roles
and functions of the Global Fund in-country structures (Country
Coordinating Mechanisms, Principal Recipients, Sub Recipients, Local
Fund Agents) and other partners should play; Global Fund processes;
other existing mechanisms that fulfill similar functions to the Global
Fund CCM model; ongoing reviews and reporting mechanisms; requirements
to receive funding after a grant agreement has been signed; transparency
of information; among others.
