The Global Fund adopted an allocation-based approach for funding programs against HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria in 2013. The Global Fund policy states that countries can receive allocation only if their components are determined to be eligible in accordance with the Eligibility and Counterpart Financing Policy 1, which is designed to optimize allocation of financial resources based on the health and economic landscape of countries and regions. The Global Fund eligibility list identifies which country components are eligible to receive an allocation under the funding model. If a country has no eligible components, they do not appear on the list. Eligibility is determined by a country s income level and official disease burden data, as provided to the Global Fund by WHO and UNAIDS. A country s income level for 2015 is based on income classifications published by the World Bank in July 2014, in accordance with the GNI-per-capita thresholds for each income classification, and takes into consideration updated GNI-per-capita data by the World Bank in December 2014. Similarly, country s disease burden is based on latest data shared by WHO and UNAIDS in December 2014. For countries that become ineligible during an allocation period, the policy states that Countries or components that become ineligible during an allocation period before accessing their funding will not forfeit their allocation. However, the Secretariat may adjust the level of funding and require specific time-bound actions for transitioning to other sources of financing. The eligibility policy also states that Countries or components that become eligible during an allocation period may receive an allocation, subject to availability of funding, only after being newly eligible for two consecutive eligibility determinations. Hence, while funding is allocated every three years, the eligibility list is published annually and is effective from January 1 to December 31. Eligibility determinations for allocations for the period 2017-2019 will draw inputs from the 2015 eligibility list. In accordance with the Global Fund s decision on the submission of a single TB/HIV concept note from countries with high co-infection rates 2, the Global Fund may request the submission of a single TB/HIV concept note from other countries to achieve operational efficiencies. The Global Fund may also request that small island economies and/or small countries come together to submit a multicountry application; in such cases a single allocation amount will be communicated. A regional or multi-country application shall only be eligible for funding where the majority (at least 51 percent) of countries included in the application would be eligible to submit their own request for funding for that same disease through a single-country application.

Notes category: The Global Fund income categories are based on the World Bank (Atlas Method) Classifications: Low Countries (LI); Lower-Middle Countries (LMI); and Upper Middle Countries (UMI). The GNI-per-capita thresholds which determine income classifications were published by the World Bank in July 2014 and these, together with the updated GNI per capita data published in December 2014, were used for the 2015 eligibility list. The Global Fund classification further divides LMI countries into two groups, namely Lower-LMI countries and Upper-LMI countries based on the midpoint of the GNI per capita range of the World Bank s LMI category. burden: burden data are provided to the Global Fund Secretariat by WHO and UNAIDS. The disease burden criterion applies to UMI countries in order to determine their eligibility, with the exception of the malaria-free criterion (below) which applies to all countries regardless of income level: Members of the Group of 20 countries (G-20 members) that are UMI with less than an extreme disease burden are not eligible, unless they meet the criteria to apply under the NGO Rule. UMI countries with moderate or low disease burden are not eligible for funding. UMIs that are designated under the small island economy exception to the International Development Association lending requirements are eligible for funding regardless of national disease burden. For HIV: UMI countries must be listed on the OECD s DAC list of ODA recipients to be eligible for funding, unless they meet the criteria to apply under the NGO Rule. For malaria: o o The Global Fund uses malaria data from earlier years (2000), as recommended by WHO. Each year, WHO provides revised 2000 estimates, which has changed the disease burden score for some countries; and Countries that are certified as malaria-free by WHO or are on the WHO s Supplementary List of countries where malaria never existed or disappeared, are not eligible to apply for malaria funding and will not be eligible for an allocation for malaria, regardless of their income level. NGO rule: For HIV/AIDS only, UMIs not listed on the OECD-DAC list of ODA recipients 3 will only be able to access funding if they meet all the conditions as described in the eligibility policy, in particular the confirmation that the services requested in the application are not being provided due to political barriers. In all cases, such applications must be submitted by an NGO and must comply with all of the conditions. Grace period: Countries with an existing HIV grant under the NGO rule that become ineligible due to changes in income level are provided with a grace-period of one allocation period; such countries must continue to meet the conditions of the NGO rule. Transition funding: s funded under an existing grant that become ineligible may receive funding for up to one additional allocation period immediately following their change in eligibility. The Secretariat, based on country context and existing portfolio considerations, will determine the appropriate period and amount of funding. Transition (new) : s that moved to transition during this allocation period and may receive funding during the next allocation period Transition (current) : s receiving transition funding during this allocation period and will not receive funding during the next allocation period 3 The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development publishes a list of countries eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA).
