The Pakistan Country
Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is a "national consensus group" which has been
established in response to requirements and recommendations of the Global Fund
to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) as an overall guiding body for
the use of Global Fund (GF) grants. The GF recognizes that through a country
driven, coordinated and multi sectoral approach involving all relevant
partners, additional resources can have a significant impact on the reduction
of infections, illness and death from the three diseases. The GF recommends
that all countries strive to include as CCM members representatives of the
Academic/Educational Sector; Government; NGOs/Community-Based Organisations;
People living with or/ effected by the Disease; Private Sector;
Religious/Faith-Based Organisations; Multilateral and Bilateral Development
Partners in-country.
The CCM pulls
together a variety of actors, each with unique skills, background and
experience. The major functions of
the CCM is to be involved in the development of proposals and decisions on the
allocation and utilization of the Global Fund financial resources, to be
involved in the selection of a Principal Recipient (PR) to oversee and manage
the GF award, to monitor the implementation of activities under the GF, to
evaluate the performance of the GF awards and the PR, and to ensure linkages
and consistency between the GF assistance and other development and health
assistance programs in support of national priorities.
