Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Toolkit

To support the monitoring and evaluation of programs a toolkit for the three diseases has been developed by a wide range of institutions. The purpose of the toolkit is to provide in one place the "essentials" of agreed upon best practice as well as references to key materials and resources. You will find descriptions of the major indicators, how they fit into general monitoring and evaluation, and frequently asked questions and answers. The toolkit has been updated in a Second Edition of January 2006.

If you experience problems accessing the toolkit, please download the lower resolution version and annexes separately.

This guidelines document provides operational details for grant recipients on the Global Fund’s system for performance based funding. The document includes information on:

• the content of a grant agreement between the Global Fund and a Principal Recipient (PR) and the grant negotiation process;
• the content of the progress documentation to be provided by PRs to the Global Fund throughout the grant period in Disbursement Requests and Progress Updates, Fiscal Year Progress Reports and yearly Audit Reports; and
• the content of the Request for Continued Funding to be submitted by Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) before the end of the initial two year grant period.

Further information about the Global Fund’s process to continue funding programs beyond the initial two years will be provided following decisions to be taken at the Global Fund’s 7th Board meeting in March 2004.
