PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Since 2010, UNDP is a Funding recipient of the project "Support to Country Coordinating Committee on Work with International Organizations on HIV and Tuberculosis issues" funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (hereinafter – The Global Fund). The project is aimed at provision of logistic and administrative support to CCM through its Secretariat.

In Kazakhstan, the Country Coordinating Committee on Work with International Organizations on HIV and Tuberculosis issues (hereinafter the “CCM”) has been established in 2002. On June 20, 2022, the Ministry of Healthcare the Republic of Kazakhstan signed a new Decree "On establishment of the Country Coordinating Mechanism on work with international organizations in the sphere of HIV-infection and Tuberculosis" ensuring equal participation of the representatives of the CSOs, PLHIV, People affected by TB, PWID, SW, MSM in the work of CCM, its decision making as well as in interaction with the constituencies in terms of covering the needs of most vulnerable and leaving no one behind. The CCM is mandated to coordinate the development of funding proposals on HIV and TB, oversee the implementation of country-level activities with the international organizations and ensure participatory decision-making (decisions made between decision-makers, service providers and key affected populations).

The CCM Secretariat was established in 2011 and works closely with national and international partners to support HIV and TB responses. The CCM Secretariat staff under the Governance Unit of UNDP provides technical support to partners and participates in the implementation of CCM functions; represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government, and civil society dialogue initiatives.

Since 2021, the CCM participated in the Global Fund's project “CCM Evolution”, within this project CCM functions were analyzed in 4 main areas: oversight, engagement, positioning, and operations. Based on the results of the analysis, the following threshold values were determined: oversight - 83%, engagement - 75%, positioning - 50%, operations - 92%. To raise the thresholds to 100%, the CCM agreed on 15 April 2021 a list of relevant activities that carried out until the end of 2023. 

Oversight is a key function of the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), focusing on the essential financial, programmatic and management aspects of the grant portfolio. Global Fund supported interventions contribute to the broader national health response via an enhanced use of strategic information and a risk management approach. The CCM Secretariat (particularly through the oversight officer) plays a key support role for this function, which ranges from facilitating logistical arrangements and coordination with the oversight committee to information synthesis and analysis.  This document can be used when an oversight officer is part of the staff of the CCM Secretariat or in cases where an Executive Secretary is directly supporting the implementation of oversight activities for the CCM. The document also considers specific tasks for countries currently preparing for or already going through transition-related processes.
