Ecobank and the Global Fund have continued their innovative financing partnership program to contribute to the fight against malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
The program is designed to strengthen the financial management skills of program implementers in Nigeria, South Sudan and Senegal. Ecobank has pledged USD 3 million towards the scheme.
During the second phase of the program, which officially kicked off in Abuja last week, six Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) who battle TB and HIV/AIDS in Nigeria will receive extensive onsite training over the next twelve weeks.
Technical training will be delivered by Ecobank Nigeria and through the placement of Accounting for International Development (AfID) consultants, who are all members of the Nigerian Diaspora taking time off to volunteer on this specific project.
The impact of the programme has already been recognised as over 80 people working for 10 grant recipients in Nigeria and South Sudan were trained during the first phase of the project last year. The Global Fund country teams have already noticed first-hand that grant implementation has become more efficient.
