Long-term sustainability is a fundamental aspect of development and global health financing. It is essential that countries are able to scale up and sustain programs to achieve lasting impact in the fight against the three diseases and to move towards eventual achievement of Universal Health Coverage. Countries that have experienced economic growth over the last decade are able to move progressively from external-donor financing for health toward domestically funded systems that deliver results but must be supported to do so. The 2017-2022 Global Fund Strategic Framework recognizes this and includes a specific sub-objective committing the Global Fund to “support sustainable responses for epidemic control and successful transitions.”
This paper requests the Board to approve the Sustainability, Transition and Co-financing Policy set forth in Annex 1 to this paper, based on the recommendation of the Strategy, Investment and Impact Committee (SIIC). Upon approval by the Board, the Secretariat will implement the Sustainability, Transition and Co-financing Policy.
