Significance of the Policies and Context Sample Clauses

Significance of the Policies and Context. In contrast to Gavi’s policies, the Global Fund’s policies are not based solely on the economic development of a country over time. The Global Fund’s policies outline a way to consider burden or need outside of economic parameters, creating a disease-based criteria that is not considered in the Gavi framework. This gives the policy the opportunity to be sensitive and reactive to complex changes within a country’s disease management program structure, and can give the Global Fund the leverage necessary to provide funds beyond promulgated economic thresholds. The policies set forth by the Global Fund also allow for countries receiving funding to take increased ownership in determining the co-financing requirements as the countries transition. It may be considered, however, that while there are benefits to taking context into consideration when developing the co-financing requirements in conjunction with the beneficiary countries, there is also the cost of unpredictability as there is no standardized co- financing process tied to transition as seen in the Gavi policies.
