In Belarus, elections have been launched to select members of the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) for collaboration with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for a new three-year term. The newly elected body will serve from December 2025 to November 2028.

The CCM is a national collegial body that ensures coordination of efforts among different stakeholders in the response to HIV and tuberculosis. Its responsibilities include preparing funding applications to the Global Fund, providing strategic oversight of grant implementation, and coordinating the work of government agencies, civil society organizations, international partners, and key affected populations. In addition, the CCM ensures that Global Fund–supported activities are aligned with national strategic plans and programs.

In Belarus, the CCM operates under national legislation and its own regulations. Representatives of the non-governmental sector take part in the elections: candidates submit applications, while voters are drawn from the relevant subsectors of civil society. The term of office for CCM members is three years.

CCMs operate in all countries that collaborate with the Global Fund and are a mandatory requirement for accessing and managing Global Fund financing. While the structure and procedures of CCMs may vary from country to country, they all serve the same essential role: ensuring transparency, the participation of civil society and key populations, and accountability in the implementation of programs aimed at combating epidemics.
