Dear Subhash Mahopatra & Friends at AIDS India:

I am copying the list of the entire CCM for India (See below). The

details are fuzzy for a few people (like the numbers for YRG) but for

the most part, it is correct. There are fax numbers for each of them,

which is not there on this list. If you would like those, please get in

touch with me.

While I would encourage all of you to seek out the CCM members for

submitting your proposals, may I point out a few things?

The CCM was meant to be a process of consultation and collaboration

between the National Governments, and private players to develop

comprehensive, results oriented strategies and programs for funding by

the GFATM. In India, and in the rest of the countries, but for a few

exceptions, this has not happened. The allocations in the first round

speak for themselves.

The Indian CCM does have 5 NGO representatives, who are supposed to

articulate the voice of the NGO sector in the CCM. If the NGO sector

does not feel adequately and widely consulted, these 5 would have to own

up responsibility for the feeling, and do something about it. The same

is true for the corporate sector with its own representatives.

At a meeting which had been organized for the CCM members to meet with

the NGO's and the corporate sector on the 21st of August in New Delhi,

none of the NGO, Corporate or government sector representatives turned

up with the exception of the ICMR representative. The UN agencies were

present and perplexed at the situation. A letter to the CCM has not been

responded to by the Chairman of the CCM. Instead, we have a statement by

our Hon. Union Minister for Health at Jakarta stating that India

requires more support from the GFATM than the $8 million it has given.

In the eyes of the GFATM, the process of consultation and consensus

building is as important as the quality of the proposals. Sadly, this

idea seems to be lost on a significant majority of the CCM members, and

the planners in the GOI. As a result, we can confidently expect the same

token grants to India as in the first round.

In the process of writing up proposals, please keep the following in

mind:

1. That your program is part of the overall strategy in the state /

region / country. Ie: The SACS / TB officer / Malaria Officer are aware

of the program, and it has their concurrence on the need and fit for the

program.

2. That it brings in more players together in cooperation, than being a

stand alone giant.

3. That it has extremely good Monitoring and Evaluation tools built into

it. The focus is on results, and achieving it as efficiently as

possible.

4. That there is no upper ceiling on the funds requested. If it is a

feasible program, by its own admission, the GFATM is committed to

backing it up, even though it might be in phases.

5. That once the proposal is written up, it has to pass the scrutiny of

the CCM (how that happens is your guess and mine. All I can say is God

and they know!), which takes time. Effectively, that means the time is

up for this round.

There is a third round of funding (hopefully!) to be coming up in April

next year, with submission dates about 6 weeks prior to that. Work up to

that, with constant pressure on the CCM and the Nodal officers for the 3

diseases to include you in the process of forming the proposals. Start

now.

Remember: If we don't ask, we don't get. If we don't ask, there is no

pressure on the fund to increase its kitty by asking donor countries for

funds. It is a two way street. We have to ask for better proposals in

order for the Fund itself to get replenished. This is a good opportunity

globally, something that we should not squander away because of the way

we tend to function in this country.

Regards,

Bobby

Global Fund - CCM

This has reference to (Dr. 's) recent e.mail regarding the functioning of

CCM in India.

I feel you have jumped into some hasty conclusions on the functioning of

CCM, which is unfortunate. In spite of various constraints and keeping in

view it is a very a very short period when CCM started functioning.

CCM has done its best to involve related Government Departments and

functionaries, respected & responsible voluntary organizations and the

private sector to ensure that the Global Funds are appropriately and

optimally utilized in India.

Through a number of meetings, a process of future shortlisting of the

projects for consideration at the CCM has been evolved. A clear perspective

of India on three priority areas of Global Fund, i.e. Tuberculosis, Malaria

and HIV/AIDS is being developed based on national policies and priorities.

Functioning of CCM and how various stakeholders can relate to it is being

developed and will be on the Internet shortly. I am sure these developments

will assure you and your colleagues that CCM will make maximum endeavour for

a participatory response of all the sectors in meeting the public health

challenges related to Tuberculosis, Malaria and HIV/AIDS. I am sure there

will be scope of further fine tuning the process, which will take place as

we go along.

Your frustration regarding non participation of CCM Members in the meeting

organized by you on 21 August must be seen from the background that CCM

Members have their own organizations and personal commitments and they just

can't be available for meetings without considerable notice. You should also

feel reassured that in our own forum, we relate directly on a very regular

basis with our more than 3500 Member Organizations, who are doing sincere

work on these public health concern for almost three decade. I personally

feel that instead of creating a parallel forum, you should encourage your

associates to address their concerns and suggestions with CCM directly.

I shall be personally interested to know little more about your forum.

With best wishes,

Sincerely yours,

Alok Mukhopadhyay

Chief Executive

Voluntary Health Association of India
