Background and Rationale for the Program:
Three decades of civil war and instability, coupled with continual humanitarian crises such as drought and floods, have weakened Somalia’s health system and contributed to some of the poorest health indicators in the world, including very low coverage of essential health services, lack of access to hygiene and sanitation, malnutrition, high burdens of communicable and non-communicable diseases, high infant and maternal mortality and very low life expectancy (WHO, 2020). This is concurrently compounded by an active armed insurgency, weak governance, clannism, weak service delivery capacity and fiscal capacity constraints.
The Somalia Tuberculosis grant is a program continuation of the G6 grant. It is built upon successes and lessons learned of the previous TB grants in Somalia and aims at scaling up the fight against TB in the country. The grant implementation period is from 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2026 with a budget of US$ 27,474,515. The original approved budget for the period under audit is US $8,716,999. A total of $11,363,726.84 was disbursed by the Global Fund in respect of this grant during the period under audit. Out of this, $7,051,298.74 was sent to the PR bank account while the balance of $4,312,428.10 was disbursed directly to third parties. Amount disbursed to the sub-recipients by PR directly and indirectly amounted to $3,296,855.24.
