The Malawi Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is the national committee responsible for submitting funding applications to the Global Fund as well as for overseeing grants on behalf of the country.
The Malawi Global Fund Coordinating Committee (MGFCC) works to implement the Global Fund's function of using the world's resources to invest strategically in programs to end AIDS, TB and malaria as epidemics.
The Global Fund Grant has enabled provision of second line treatment to about 1186 drug resistance tuberculosis cases in the last 3 years including patient support and enrolling patients to NHIF Scheme.
Global Fund supports COVID-19 control and containment interventions and COVID-19-related risk mitigation measures for programs to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
Global Fund HIV grants have been recieved by Malawi from Rounds 1 and 2 which were fully implemented. The HIV proposals were recommended for funding.
Malawi has severe, generalized HIV epidemic, but in recent years, the country has experienced a notable decline in HIV prevalence, attributed in part to significant behavioral change and increased access to ART (antiretroviral drugs).
