In 2014, the Global Fund introduced a new funding approach which they called the New Funding Model (NFM) for all recipients of Global Fund resources, of which Stop TB Partnership Ghana is one. The new Funding Model took effect and lasted for three years after which it was renewed and this has been the practice since then.

Stop TB Partnership Ghana was a Sub-Recipient from 2015 to 2017, the first NFM. In NFM 2, which was in existence from January 2018 till December 2020, Stop TB Partnership Ghana engaged 90 NGOs in case finding at the community level.

The STOPTB won the bid to partner with the Christian Health Association of Ghana, in implementing Global Fund NFM 3 TB case finding activities.  This covers the period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. In NFM3, Stop TB Partnership Ghana has engaged 97 NGOs, which culminates into 970 community volunteers, to provide TB services to members of hard-to-reach communities across the country. The NGOs were set to work in 110 districts and 15 regions across the country.

Pre-Implementation Meeting (March 2021)

Having clearly known the implementing partners that will be working under STOPTB, the Partnership in collaboration with CHAG organized a one-day pre-implementation meeting. This activity took place on March 4, 2021 at the GNAT Hall Conference room in Accra.

This meeting was attended by a large number of the implementing partners of STOPTB and a delegation from CHAG, led by their Deputy Executive Director, Dr. James Duah. The Secretariat staff of STOPTB and some board members were also there to coordinate the event. The scanned attendance sheets have been attached to this report as a separate document.

The purpose of this meeting was to:

• orient all implementing partners of the implementation strategy by STOPTB for NFM 3.
• engage all implementing partners to understand how collaborations between CHAG and STOPTB will be in NFM 3.
• discuss with all implementing partners how reporting will be done in NFM 3.
• to help implement partners review work done in NFM 2 and appreciate achievements made.
• engage all implementing partners in reviewing and understanding the new Memorandum of Understanding between STOPTB and all Implementing Partners that will be used in NFM 3.
