Elias I thing the civil society organisation (cso) has got a role to play in determing the nature of funds they are looking, Government shouldbe more on monitoring the role and funding the cso is using and provide some guidelines in term of issues of priority than dictating to funders. Presently there exist tension between the recipient countries (CCM) and their NGO/cso who shoud be doing spadework in term of satisfying community needs. The government uses red tapes when cso is about to reeceive foreign aid and thatis not a healthy relationship because the grass (community) suffers ''when these two elephant fights. I think it is wise to restructure the CCM aplication; instead of the fundscoing through the country, they should be channelled to organisation and the government acknowledged work in partnership with the receiving organisation. thank u.

To e-Forum 2008(Civil-society as Principal Recipients)

In selection of civil-society as a Principal Recipients of GF grants in countries,CCM structure should analyse civil-society inclusive structure for addressing GF implementation.From GF standpoint civil-society is consist of NGO/CBO,professional association, &FBO(based on religion & regional overview),this civil-society structure &its function are not providing complete representation of national consensus,linkage ,community sentiments,social integration& dependency feeling.For representation of civil-society as a PR, CCM should take various CCM model consideration for correct positioining of GF grants. In preceding discussion, suitable structure of CSO has been discussed for civil-society participation in GF mechanism.

as per my opinion global fund is usefull when it support to the newly NGO or CSO those having interest to do something for the living organism (people living with various disease, powerty). somany way to support CSO . global then mostly adequate if the GF strenghthing the establishment of needull people. so many organization working in the country but why people are not susceptible in the ratio of fund utilization.this is most important point of progress. Gf should establish various newly rural hospital , also people development centre. community care centre for various type of disease. so many people are unable to pay the bill of hospital .medical relief hospital run by association till now not so effective which should be require in the public need. if global having intention only to fallow the norms of global fund by an association . as per my theme and experience crieteria must be applicable when GF provide to an association otherwise the fund will digest by an largest association those having defenite structure . GF should establish the VO and carried out the work for welfare of community.

*Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCM) are central to the Global Fund's commitment to local ownership and participatory decision-making. The Country Coordinating Mechanism nominates one or a few public or private organizations to serve as Principal Recipient of a Global Fund grant.

Your answer can include (but does not have to be limited to): the impact that the role of PR can have on a civil society organization (CSO); specific technical assistance that is most required; ways in which the Global Fund can ensure that civil society organizations are properly prepared for the necessary scale up of activities; the types of partnerships that would be useful to ensure that CSOs are ready for this challenge; if international NGOs that are nominated as PRs should be required to mentor local NGOs.
