17/05/07 - The CFCS is a mechanism to provide financial support to small groups of civil society organizations and for funding advocacy and social mobilization activities at the grass roots level. It is targeted at civil society groups that are seeking to shape policy-making at local and national levels.
The deadline for receipt of completed proposals including all supporting documents is 22 May at 23:59 GMT. Proposals received will be sent to a selection committee made up of representatives from NGOs from developed and developing countries, the community affected by TB, NTP managers, and the WHO Stop TB Department. This committee will evaluate the bids received by the Secretariat and select the winners. The winning proposals will collectively represent the top ranked proposals until the limit of US$200,000 is reached. All the winners will be announced on the web site in the first week of August 2007.
