Portfolio Categorization
Requirements for Global Fund policies and procedures are differentiated based on portfolio categories: High Impact, Core and Focused.
Before the start of each grant cycle, portfolio categorization is assessed based on country allocations and disease burden. Each country and multicountry grant is then assigned a portfolio category that will identify their approach to Global Fund policies and procedures for the relevant grant cycle.
*Notes:
- Multicountry categorization only covers combined allocation multicountry programs. Regional grants funded from the Multicountry Catalytic Investments will be categorized following approval of allocation for each grant based on the categorization criteria for multicountry portfolios. Exceptions to the criteria to be approved by EGMC.
- Countries eligible but not receiving 2026-2028 allocation not categorized.
- Zanzibar categorized as Focused but managed by High Impact Africa 2 Department; Cameroon and Malawi categorized as High Impact but managed by AME Department.
