TA feedback strategy
Currently used– TA feedback by beneficiary since few months
under development– Anonymous beneficiary satisfaction questionnaire– Measurement of performance against TOR– Defining standards – good TA practice– Technical committee (major Partners) to reach consensus on
how to use feedback information– Link with TB roster
PEPFAR/TBTEAM grant $3M/year
Aim: Improve Global Fund TB grant performance and relieve bottlenecks to grant implementation
Year 1: Oct 2007 - Sept 2008Year 2: Oct 2008 - Sept 20091. TA to

116 missions to 65 countries by 10 partners (WHO, Union, KNCV, GLRA)
108 missions to 58 countries by 15 partners (WHO, CDC, GIP ESTHER, Project Hope, RIT/JATA, KNCV, GLRA, Union)
PSM plan, M&E plan, work plan revision, plans and guidelines for implementation of Stop TB Components, RCCGrant signature (phase 1 and 2), Grant rating (A, A1, A2, B1, etc)

Achievements in 2009
Increased buy in of TBTEAM as the TA coordination mechanism by countries, TBTEAM partners and regional TBTEAM. Increased number of N-TBTEAM and TA plan (but below targets)
Increased completeness and accuracy on data mission entry
New Web site launched and used extensively
Open request efficient and reactive
Post-Mission Feed back started (many obstacles)
Call for experts for inclusion in Roster
Suggested approaches in 2010
To expand national TBTEAM with technical support being provided by several partners (needs additional funds);
To promote National TBTEAM's role in planning including the Global Fund proposal preparation and implementation, with involvement of civil society;
To expand TBTEAM's coordination function to include GLC, GLI, GDF and other TB areas; long-term as well as short-term TA; and harmonize with GF TB technical support
To hold regular TBTEAM coordination meetings at global/regional/country level, including by video/audio conference, that include all stakeholders, and that will review progress in coordinating external inputs to countries on a regular basis, and identify bottlenecks and solutions.
To develop a TA feed back strategy with core partner groups and link with roster.
