October 2011 — The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) is the largest multilateral donor funding services for people living with HIV, people affected by HIV and AIDS, and people with active tuberculosis. An interagency team — consisting of the World Food Programme (WFP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and FHI 360's Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance II (FANTA) project, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) — worked to create the Toolkit: For Countries Applying for Funding of Food and Nutrition Programs under the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Round 11) to strengthen Round 11 Global Fund proposals. The toolkit can be used by countries considering inclusion of food and nutrition activities for the first time and by experienced countries that want to scale up their response or broaden the range of their food and nutrition support activities to address emerging problems. The toolkit provides potential Round 11 applicants with the information needed to include a food and nutrition component in their Global Fund proposals, have food and nutrition more consistently integrated into proposals and improve the overall quality of their applications.

Support was provided by the USAID Bureau for Global Health’s Office of HIV/AIDS and Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition.
