standard’ of evidence– Action: first step will be an internal community

Further discussion of Gender Strategy Framework…
• What experience do we want to see in a Gender Champion?– Real experience: Implementing programs, ‘minimum of x years in
country implementation,’ RH expertise, people with HIV encouraged to apply,
– What about someone with a global profile? – What can NGOs bring to the discussion? The Private Sector?
– Move away from people we have been hearing from for 20 years
Further discussion of Gender Strategy Framework…
• What do we want the Champions to do?
– Operational focus– Engaging with countries, assessing what is actually happening at country level – Internal and external advocate– Ongoing training for Global Fund staff especially Fund Portfolio Managers– Measure/track implementation of gender and SRH/HIV organizational goals– Annual reporting and external communication on progress and problems – Focus is not only on women
Further discussion of Gender Strategy Framework…
• Where should the Champions be located? – Executive Directors office, with a link to
Operations/Country Programs, the CCM Team, and the Performance Evaluation and Policy Team
Further discussion of Gender Strategy Framework…
• What would success look like? – Improve impact of existing programs and new programs on reducing
vulnerabilities of women, girls and sexual minorities: the team of Champions should have a catalytic effect
– Question: should there be a monetary target? ($XX invested in programs reducing vulnerabilities)
– Question: identify a short list of ‘priority countries’ where the Champions will work for change
– Question: what should the operational targets and Key Performance Indicators against which the Global Fund measures success be?
UN Family

revision, and UNFPA’s chairing of GIST to link PSM strengthening done by RH communities
