Once a Local Fund Agent has been selected, can it ever be changed?
Yes. The LFA for a country can be changed in a variety of circumstances. These include, but are not limited to: • Where an LFA develops a conflict of interest that cannot be resolved and therefore cannot continue to fulfill its LFA function; • Where an LFA is not able to provide the scope and quality of the services required by the Global Fund in the country concerned; • When the LFA contract, which is for a limited duration, expires. In such cases, a new competition for the role of LFA is held. All LFA contracts are subject to satisfactory performance which is being strictly managed by the Global Fund.
