Mechanism for Country Coordination
The Mechanisms for Country Coordination are multi-stakeholder partnerships at the national level established to present, implement and evaluate proposals to combat AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. They are required by the Global Fund to foster local empowerment and participatory decision-making and monitoring of the implementation of approved programs. They function as multi-sectorial and inter-agency bodies, which include government agencies, non-governmental organizations, the community, religious groups, private sector institutions, multilateral agencies, and people living with any of these three diseases. Panama?s Mechanism for Country Coordination (Span. MCdP), created in 2014, has 51 members (40% representatives of the government sector, 41% of civil society and 10% of organizations working in development cooperation) and makes decisions by means of direct vote of its members. Due to the correct and transparent implementation of projects, the MCdP has been successful in continuing to receive financing from the Global Fund until 2019. Although the foresaid financing ended, in 2020 the Mechanism continues to operate in coordination with national entities.
