The Philippines is progressing with its Round 7 application processes for the Global Fund, focusing on investments of $70 million across eight approved projects targeting TB, HIV/AIDS, and Malaria. With a total lifetime budget of $127 million, the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) plays a crucial role, established in 2002 to represent national stakeholders. Currently, the development of proposals is at the grassroots level, with active engagement of Technical Working Groups. The CCM, consisting of various sectors, is working on proposal endorsements and addressing ongoing challenges to strengthen national health objectives.
