Dear Tamar,

Please be kindly advised that following the submission of the CCM Year 1 budget, the Global Fund approved it and sent us the new CCM Funding Agreement GEO-CFUND-2009 covering period 1 March 2020 to 28 February 2023 with  Budget (Costed
Workplan) for Year 1. The only change made by the Global Fund themselves is that they applied 5% increase on HR cost (the proposed translation cost was correspondingly reduced). None other alteration has been proposed.

We are attaching the communication from the Global Fund.

We intend to share this communication with the whole CCM seeking for their final review and agreement and then will proceed with the signature process of the Funding Agreement as instructed by the Global Fund.

Respectfully,

Natia

Dear Tamar,

Thank you very much for your advice.

The Secretariat is ready to assume the role of the operational support  to PAAC .

As for modifying the mechanism for PAAC technical assistance, we have rewritten the assumption column which looks as given below:

“To continue provision of  support to PAAC with its expanded role, in support of  transition process,  long or short term Technical Assistant(s) to be recruited  based  on needs; estimated
fee  for the consultant is approximately 125$ per consultancy day. Approximate sum of this budget line is 15,125$”

On a different note, we would like to inform you that our FPM, Tatyana Vinichenko and David Kokiashvili plan to be in Tbilisi on May 3-7 (working days May 4-6).

They aligned their travel with the start of the HIV evaluation mission.

The dates for evaluation are 4-15 May, 2020.

Respectfully,

Natia

Dear Natia

Many thanks for sharing. The budget looks good to me. I am thinking about modifying the mechanism for PAAC technical assistance. Instead of having one TA person assigned to PAAC we may need to mobilize more specific
TA based on the needs. We would need to have a mechanism for recruiting short term advisors as needed. As for the secretarial support to PAAC- I would kindly ask the CCM secretariat to assume this role, as workload for inviting PAAC meetings and writing minutes
is quite low.

With kind regards

Tamar
