The Prospective Country Evaluation (PCE) is an embedded mixed-methods evaluation platform designed to examine the Global Fund business model, investments, and contribution to disease program outcomes and impact in eight countries. The PCE generates timely evidence to support program improvements and accelerate progress towards the objectives of the Global Fund 2017-2022 Strategy.

This report presents findings synthesized across six of the eight PCE countries in 2017 and describes the overall PCE design, progress, and early findings, with a focus on the funding request and grant-making stages. Key themes explored through this report included an exploration of how Global Fund business model is implemented in-country and the translation of Global Fund strategy and policy in-country.
