In order to provide fast, efficient and unbureaucratic assistance, the German BACKUP Initiative has developed three modes of application to suit the individual needs of partner organisations. All proposals will be checked for compliance and quality by the GTZ Office or GTZ technical staff then put forward for approval by the BACKUP team at GTZ Head Office.

1. Fast Access Mode (up to EUR 20,000)

The Fast Access Mode provides quick funds for one-off activities, e.g. Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) workshops/meetings, sponsorship for participation in conferences or exchange visits, etc.

2. Consultancy Mode (up to EUR 40,000 per consultancy)

The Consultancy Mode provides an opportunity to assign consultants to support CCMs, Principal Recipient PRs and member organisations, especially from civil society, during the Global Fund proposal development and/or implementation stage. Terms of Reference must be defined.

3. Project Mode (up to EUR 200,000 per contract)

The Project Mode caters for small to medium-size projects to support the application process and implementation of globally financed activities and programmes.
The Project Mode requires a brief summary proposal and a logframe that states purpose, outputs, indicators, activities, time frame and budget. Own contributions and contributions from other partners must be clearly stated. After the compliance and quality check by the GTZ Office or GTZ technical staff each proposal will be assessed according to the criteria stated in the BACKUP standards and guidelines by a group of public health experts.
