Dual Track Financing in Burundi

2 Jul 2010

In 2002, the government established the Council for the Fight against AIDS (CNLS) to coordinate and guarantee a multi-sectoral coordination of HIV and AIDS work now under the Ministry of HIV and AIDS. CNLS was established to manage the World Bank project - the Multi-Country HIV and AIDS Programme (MAP) which promoted a multi-sectoral response to HIV and AIDS aimed at engaging both local communities and the private sector. By the end of 2005, the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) under the Global Fund (GF) funding mechanism appointed CNLS as the government sector Principal Recipient (PR) for Round Two (2) and Five (5) based on its experience and competencies in grant management and implementation of the MAP project.
