ProcessProcess
GFATM outlined process by which Board, Secretariat and Technical Review Panel issue call for applications, review and evaluate proposals and manage disbursement of funds
Country presentations of needs re. Nutrition and HIV
Potential nutrition interventions and frameworks for integration discussed in plenary and groups
Indicators for individual subject and project performance monitoring and evaluation considered
NHDNHDNHDNHD 29
OutcomesOutcomes
A framework on how nutrition interventions can be included in prevention/care/treatment and mitigation activities in HIV programmes
How (some of) these may be included in applications to the GFATM
Planning for training/briefing of regional consultants involved with assisting countries in their applications

Challenges
Need to act now: balance the needs to fill knowledge gaps and implementing what we know
Building the capacity to make it "universal" and sustainable
Dissemination of information and good communication strategies
Coordination between partners and different players Balance between production of normative work and
country-community level activities
Adequate human and financial resources to put our knowledge into practice.
