Proposals for the sixth round of Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS) grants are due by 15 February 2014.
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, Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) and programme reviews.
Successful applicants, which must be civil society organizations focusing on some of the Global Fund processes – community system strengthening, country dialogue, national strategic planning and the new funding model – in their countries, will receive grants of between US $ 5000 and US$ 20 000.
Applications should focus on strengthening the voice of people suffering from TB – especially those from key affected populations and vulnerable groups – in key national bodies such as Global Fund CCMs and on 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.
