The human resources required for successful grant implementation may change over time. A review of human resource needs should therefore be conducted on a regular basis, and at least annually. The CO should undertake a critical review of its capacity to manage the grant in light of any changes in programme activities, to determine the Global Fund PMU’s competencies, size and structure.

For periods during the grant life cycle when there is increased demand (e.g. preparation of Progress Updates/Disbursement Requests), the PMU can be supplemented by consultants and/or staff on detailed assignments. Depending on the timeframe, the recruitment of short-term (three months) UN Volunteers may also be considered to augment capacities. The UNDP GFPHST roster of qualified experts can be utilized to identify and quickly deploy the required expertise. If you require any additional support, please contact UNDP GFPHST.
