As part of the Global Fund’s Catalytic Investments, these resources have been made available to these countries in addition to their general grant allocation. Their purpose is to incentivize the programming of country allocations in such way that a higher impact on disease control can be achieved through Global Fund investments. As the priority area of TB under Matching Funding is focused on ‘Finding the Missing People with TB’, the approaches the countries are implementing is aligned with this focus.
In addition, the countries are also pursuing TB case finding interventions as part of their broader national TB response, which is funded through their general Global Fund grants, other donors as well as domestic funding. While equally of critical importance, these interventions are not captured in this section but can be found in the countries’ Funding Request documents made available on the Global Fund webpage.
Click on the different countries for more information to obtain details on TB case finding interventions under ‘Background’ or read about latest in-country progress under ‘Updates from the Field’.
