The Stop TB Partnership has today announced a call for
proposals for the sixth round of Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS)
grants.
The CFCS supports civil society organizations in their
efforts to ensure that the challenges faced by communities and vulnerable
groups affected by tuberculosis (TB) are addressed in national strategies and
plans developed to fight TB.
Successful applicants, which must be civil society
organizations focusing on some of the Global Fund processes – country dialogue,
national strategic planning and the new funding model – in their countries,
will receive grants between US $ 5000 and US$ 20 000.
Applications should focus on creating a greater voice for
people suffering from TB – especially those from key affected populations and
vulnerable groups - in key national bodies such as the Global Fund
Country Coordinating Mechanisms; and implementing activities that build the
capacity of civil society to speak out about challenges and solutions in
reaching affected communities with TB care and support.
Applicants are encouraged to carefully examine and follow
the guidelines, application form and instructions that are available on the
Stop TB Partnership website:
The deadline to submit applications is 15 February 2014.
The Partnership Secretariat thanks all applicants and
wishes them good luck with their proposals.
