Grant Adaptation Measures for Global Fund Grant Cycle 7 

A Guide for Communities Guide on GC7 Reprioritization

This guide is a practical resource developed by the LAC Platform to support civil society and community actors in navigating the ongoing reprioritization and revision of GC7 grants. In response to significant funding shortfalls and donor uncertainties, the Global Fund has asked countries to adapt their grant programs, prioritizing essential, lifesaving services while deferring or scaling back less critical investments.

This guide offers a comprehensive breakdown of the adaptation process—including deferral, reprioritization, and revision—and highlights core priorities such as community systems, gender equity, human rights, and resilient health systems. It also equips communities with engagement strategies, advocacy tips, and key questions to ask during the limited window for input. With clear explanations, timelines, and quick tips, the guide empowers community representatives to influence decisions at the country level and protect vital interventions during this period of financial constraint.
