Top Four Most Important Roles for the Private Sector
7
Provision of technical assistance/critical core competencies
• Monitoring and Evaluation• Program management• Procurement• Supply chain management• Communications• Transportation• Information Technology
8
Challenges/Potential Barriers • Private sector seen as profit seeking and a “money pot” • Perceived conflict of interest • Minimal involvement with in country planning and grant cycle• Lack of knowledge about Global Fund mechanism • Lack of understanding of private sector approach and how to
work with businesses • Global Fund mandate not clearly aligned with corporate social
responsibility strategies
9
Key Takeways• Companies are engaged in more than 5 different mechanisms
with the Global Fund• Opportunities for partnerships: utilize core competencies
through provision of in kind services, governance at the CCM and global level (PSD) to address programming gaps
• Align business action and corporate investments with global and national initiatives
• Leverage existing forums and mechanisms (eg. GBC conferences, PSD, CCM etc.) to bridge knowledge gap between private sector, the Global Fund and GF in country partners
