Subvención VIH Background
The Global Fund (GF) was created to finance substantial changes in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
The Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), is responsible for developing and submitting proposals to be approved in its different instances to the Global Fund, as well as appointing organizations or institutions to carry out the implementation of the Grant(s) proposals in quality of main receivers (RP).
In September 2017, the Institute of Nutrition for Central America and Panama (INCAP), presented the proposal to apply for Principal Recipient (PR) of the HIV Grant. After the capacity assessment and the vote in the CCM assembly, INCAP was chosen as the new PR for the HIV Grant for the 2019-2020 period.
In September 2018, the Global Fund signed an agreement with the main recipient INCAP for the implementation of the HIV grant.
