Country NFM Process The Nigeria CCM is coordinating the development and submission of concept notes using the New Funding Model (NFM) to access funding for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria and Health System Strengthening (HSS). The HMH chairs the CCM; WHO WR act as RMC chair Key feature of NFM is the “country dialogue”. The CCM also coordinated the Roadmap for the Joint TB/HIV Concept Note writing.

Road map for NFM CCM constituted a Multi-stakeholder NFM Core Team with clear ToR to drive the preparation and application processes Included governments, donors, technical partners, civil society, and key affected and most- at-risk populations. The country dialogue led to identification of national strategies, resource available, TA needs and country prioritized activities for TB/HIV. Joint TA plan and ToRs developed; recruitment of TAs still on-going (19 thematic areas identified for TA support for the TB/HIV concept note)
