Prof. Kadio, president of the new Country Coordinating Mechanism |
Reformed CCM takes charge of Global Fund activities
A new Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), strengthened by structural reforms and elections, has assumed its role of leading projects financed by the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in Cote d’Ivoire.
Election of new leadership completes a year-long, hotly debated process of important reforms designed to correct a variety of governance and conflict-of-interest problems that threatened the viability of the CCM and the health projects it is charged with guiding. The reform process, supported by technical and financial assistance from PEPFAR, paves the way for strengthened collaborative action between the country’s two major donors in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
The CCM – a national body representing government, the private sector, civil society, development partners, and people affected by HIV/AIDS, TB, or malaria – oversees about $70 million worth of projects (implemented through Care International, UNDP, and the National TB Program) and plans to submit a proposal for Round 8 funding.
After implementation of its HIV/AIDS project was interrupted and CCM problems came to a head in February 2007, the CCM launched a series of reforms, with support by PEPFAR partner Management Sciences for Health and Initiative WHO/Italy, leading to:
A decree defining the CCM’s legal status
Bylaws governing internal functioning and ethics
A governance manual (covering procedures, monitoring and evaluation, and communication)
Reconstitution of the 25-member CCM, including majority membership from civil society and the private sector
Transparent election and redefinition of roles and responsibilities of the CCM bureau (executive committee) in February 2008. The new bureau consists of:
o President: Professor Kadio Auguste (civil society)
o First vice president: Pierre-Daniel Brechat (private sector)
o Second vice president: Dr. Agnès Amessan (Office of the Presidency of the Republic)
o Third vice president: Jyoti Schlesinger (PEPFAR)
o Representative of people living with HIV/AIDS: Ako Cyriaque
The new president, Professor Kadio, expressed his firm intention of leading a transparent and inclusive body and invited stakeholders from all levels, in particular beneficiaries, to contact the CCM regarding issues related to the implementation of Global Fund activities.
The Global Fund is supported by funds from countries worldwide, including the United States. With a shared commitment to expanding quality HIV/AIDS services, PEPFAR and the Global Fund work in close collaboration to avoid redundancies and maximize synergies.
