Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the GDF monitor programmes?
The GDF monitors programmes to determine their eligibility for grants and DP, to help calculate drug needs and to issue and assist with technical recommendations as needed.
What does the GDF monitor?
GDF mission teams monitor compliance to GDF terms and conditions of support, key aspects of drug, financial and programme management and the status of previous GDF recommendations.
Which programmes does the GDF monitor?
All recipients of grants and DP services agree to, and receive, regular annual monitoring missions.
When does the GDF monitor?
The GDF monitors programmes 4-6 months after drugs arrive in the country.
Who monitors the programmes?
GDF mission teams are generally composed of a TB and a drug management expert employed by Stop TB partner organizations.
What happens during a mission?
The mission team meets with key stakeholders, including partners and NTP managers, and visits health facilities, pharmacies and medical stores at all levels to assess indicators as per the GDF monitoring checklist.
What happens after a mission?
The mission team submits a monitoring dossier, which includes the mission report and checklist, to the GDF Secretariat. An independent desk auditor then reviews the dossier for completeness, consistency and credibility, and determines whether GDF terms and conditions of support have been met. If either the mission team and/or the desk auditor have identified serious programme concerns, the TRC will determine eligibility for continuation of GDF support. The GDF Secretariat then circulates the report to the country's NTP and relevant partners and donors to ensure follow-up support is provided when necessary.
