Supporting Community Responses to Malaria: A Training Manual to Strengthen Capacities of Community Based Organizations in Application Processes of the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

This training manual is a product of the Stop Malaria Now! advocacy campaign and is designed to support community responses to malaria. The manual is intended to improve the knowledge and skills of community-based organisations (CBOs) in application processes to the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).

The contents are based on results of a needs assessment conducted in June and July 2009. Click here to download "Capacity Needs of Community Based Organizations in Kenya to apply for Global Fund Grants".

The manual consists of 4 modules and each module is divided into several chapters. Module 1 introduces the structures and work of the GFATM, Module 2 focuses on the role of CBOs in malaria control and their possibilities to apply for GFATM grants, Module 3 highlights the grant making process of the GFATM, and Module 4 provides a roadmap for CBOs how to apply for a GFATM grant. According to the publishers, the rationale behind this structure is to allow flexible use of the manual. Depending on the demand and need of the participants, modules can be added or taken out in order to encourage trainers to adapt the material to each individual training situation and to the informational needs and demands of the participants.
