# CCM Role & Resources

Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCM) are national committees that submit funding applications to the Global Fund and oversee grants on behalf of their countries. They are a key element of the Global Fund partnership.

A CCM includes representatives of all sectors involved in the response to the diseases: academic institutions, civil society, faith-based organizations, government, multilateral and bilateral agencies, nongovernmental organizations, people living with the diseases, the private sector, and technical agencies.

A CCM:

- Coordinates the development of the national request for funding
- Nominates the Principal Recipient
- Oversees the implementation of approved grants
- Approves any reprogramming requests
- Ensures linkages and consistency between Global Fund grants and other national health and development programs
