The RSSH Funding Request

While all funding requests submitted to the Global Fund on the 23rd May 2017 are tailored applications, it is the first time that the Ghana CCM submits a request for a separate RSSH component. The RSSH funding request is integrated in the Malaria / RSSH funding request. It shall address systemic risks and weaknesses that impede the effective implementation of the malaria, HIV and TB grants.
