BACKGROUND
Lao People's Democratic Republic has been awarded a base allocation grant of US$4,162,247 by the Global Fund as part of what is termed the COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19rm). The C19RM Base Allocation is in addition to and distinct from the country’s 2020-2022 Global Fund grant allocations for TB, HIV and malaria, but will be added to the country’s existing grants.
To access this new financing the Global Fund requires the country to submit an ambitious and comprehensive funding request. The request will outline prioritized programmatic needs requiring financing using the C19RM Base Allocation amount and beyond the C19RM Base Allocation amount. Thee GF has suggest that the country develop a funding request for the full C19RM Base Allocation amount and also include requests for C19RM Above Base Allocation for at least US$4,162,247.
The C19RM Funding Request should build on the most recent data available and be guided by and be consistent with: (a) the National Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 (NSPRP) (expected to be available in all countries, and ideally updated for 2021); (b) the Global Fund Technical Information Note; and (c) WHO guidance (including on COVID-19). C19RM funding is expected to be additional to existing funding in-country and should not supplant existing funding, whether for HIV, TB and malaria programming or for COVID-19 responses.
