Call for Nominations for the Communities Living with AIDS, TB and Malaria 
Communication Focal Point (CFP) to the Global Fund Board

We are now soliciting nominations for a vacant position of Communication 
Focal Point of the Delegation of the Communities Living With AIDS, TB and 
Malaria.

CLOSING DATE for nominations is 9th August 2006 (see Section 4 below)

Section 1:    OVERVIEW OF KEY OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS

The position of the Communication Focal Point (CFP) is that of a volunteer - 
there is no payment for playing this role.  Travel and per diem costs to 
attend Board meetings are covered by the Global Fund Secretariat.  The 
position can demand up to 25% of a full-time equivalent (FTE).

The CFP works closely with the Board Member and Alternate of the delegation 
of the Communities Living with the three diseases. Together, these three 
comprise the official Delegation between Board meetings.

Although there are specific references to the role of the CFP in the Global 
Fund By-laws of the duties of CFP, the approach within the Communities 
Delegation is a more inclusive process, and the role is extended in order to 
communicate and consult globally with communities living with AIDS, TB and 
Malaria .

Purpose of the position of CFP

.    The Communication Focal Point (CFP) serves as the communication link 
between the Global Fund Board Member and Alternate, delegation members, the 
Global Fund Secretariat and the broader community.
.    The CFP should develop a mechanism to strengthen the delegation and 
build institutional memory of the Communities constituency deliberations and 
participation including positions on issues related to GFATM   through 
appropriate knowledge management.

Section 2:    QUALIFICATIONS AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTION

The CFP is an individual.  However, institutional support is critical to 
carrying out the duties. It is desirable that the candidate works in or is 
associated closely with a HIV, TB or Malaria NGO that has the commitment and 
administrative and technical capacity to support  the role of CFP.  The 
geographic coverage of the CFP spans developing and developed countries 
around the world.  Although no resources are allocated to performing the 
tasks and functions, it is strongly encouraged that the CFP seek adequate 
financial and human resources to carry out the multiple functions needed to 
ensure the proper work of the whole delegation; this financial process 
should be run in a transparent manner and in cooperation with the Board 
member and Alternate.  Funding is currently being secured for part-time 
administrative support to the CFP and to support the daily operations and 
communications of the delegation. It is strongly desirable that the 
candidate could prove strong links with an organization that is able to 
support the fiscal management of the delegation budget according to normal 
accounting and auditing procedures. .

Based on the Board and CFP functions, the selection of the CFP will consider 
the following criteria:

.    A person living with the disease(s)
.    Understanding of the scope of work of the Global Fund and opportunities 
it presents, particularly as it relates to issues of people living with 
AIDS, TB ad Malaria in developing countries;
.    Experience and ability to assume responsibility to carry out the tasks 
as described in Section 5 below;
.    Ability and capacity to communicate and network effectively and broadly 
(must have functioning communication linkages);
.    Ability to facilitate the development of, and adherence to, processes 
that ensure transparency and accountability between the Delegation and 
communities living with the diseases;
.    Communication, facilitation, strategic political and negotiating skills 
(working within a 10 member Delegation and between Delegations);
.    Openness, willingness and ability to learn, and to take on issues 
across constituency groups.
.    Ability to work well in written and spoken English (additional 
languages will be valued);
.    Assurance from employer  regarding availability of at least  25% of 
working time for Global Fund related duties, if selected.
.    Ability for resource mobilization, administration and management 
including donors relations.
.    Consideration will be made to ensure geographical and gender balance 
within the delegation.

   Section 3:    LENGTH OF TERM
The selection of the CFP is for a 2-year term and is renewable once, based 
on an assessment process convened by the Board member and Alternate at an 
annual basis.

A CFP ceases to be a CFP or can be removed from the duties described above 
by the Board and Alternate members if:
.    He/she is or becomes a member of a GFATM Board's Committee
.    He/she resigns and the organization is not able to replace the 
individual; (the CFP is an individual, so, the organizations can not replace 
him or her unless the BM and Alt MB delegation decide to do so.)
.    He/she no longer has an employer who is supportive of the time 
commitment required or he/she no longer has links to the organizations that 
secured his/her selection as CFP;
.    He/she is unable to perform the agreed upon tasks, or to work 
productively with the Board, Alternate and Delegation Members; or,
.    If a conflict of interest is declared i.e. if he/she is a member (or 
affiliated) of CCM, is a PR or LFA.
