The Local Fund Agent is the "eyes and ears" of the Global Fund in country, assessing Principal Recipients and advising the Global Fund on ongoing performance

The Principal Recipient(s) is the legally accountable party in country which disburses to sub-recipients and ensures reporting of results to the Global Fund

The Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is the local partnership that develops proposals for the Global Fund and oversees grants – the CCM is central to the Global Fund’s commitment to transparency and local ownership
