prepare their Global Fund GC8
funding requests for TB and HIV, intensive technical and
strategic groundwork is underway. This period is critical for ensuring
that proposals are not only robust and technically sound but also
closely aligned with global guidance and national priorities. WHO
recognizes the importance of supporting countries to develop
high-quality proposals that incorporate cross-programmatic and health
system strengthening (RSSH) elements, ultimately enhancing the impact
and sustainability of TB and HIV programmes.
