Operational Policy

Requirements for operational policies and procedures are differentiated based on portfolio category (High Impact, Core and Focused).

The Global Fund’s Operational Policy Notes (OPNs) and Operational Procedures provide guidance on grant life cycle processes for Country Coordinating Mechanisms, Principal Recipients, Local Fund Agents, relevant implementing partners and Global Fund Secretariat staff.

The OPNs define key principles, rules and requirements and associated grant deliverables. The internally-focused Operational Procedures operationalize policy rules and requirements.

The Operational Policy Manual [ download in English ] contains the complete set of OPNs. Global Fund processes evolve and adapt, and changes are communicated accordingly.
