What it’s like to work at CARE?

The Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) is a national committee of voluntary members that submits funding applications to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, oversees the grants on behalf of their country and ensures alignment with the national response. The Secretariat of a CCM facilitates the mandate and supports the CCM in both the execution of its decisions and coordination of its activities. The roles and responsibilities of the CCM Secretariat shall be to assist the CCM to execute its core functions in the areas of Oversight, Engagement, Positioning and Operations.
Since 2002, Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) Nepal has been established as a central pillar of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (TGF) architecture to ensure country-driven, coordinated, and multi-sector processes for leveraging and effecting additional resources to reduce morbidity and mortality from HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria. CCM Nepal is an independent entity that is closely guided by the Global Fund policy on structure and functions. As the cornerstone of its philosophy, CCMN brings together multiple stakeholders to collectively identify Nepal’s needs, be responsible for developing and submitting grant proposals, nominate the Principal Recipients (PR) and oversee implementation of Global Fund-supported projects.
Oversight is one of the core function of CCMs. The Global Fund aims for strategic oversight where it seeks alignment at all levels: programmatic, financial, Resilient Sustainable Systems for Health, Procurement and Supply chain management between Global Fund grants and national disease programs as well as other development partners. At the very least, each CCM is expected to ensure grants are on track to deliver the outcomes and impacts according to the objectives of the grants. Under the direct supervision of the CCM Coordinator, Oversight Officer will provide complete support in running the oversight function of the CCM Nepal. The employee shall fully comply with safety and security procedure of CARE and should be accountable for it.
