FISCAL AGENT WORKSHOP IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO FOR GAVI AND THE GLOBAL FUND

By mid-November the GFA project team in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) organized a technical platform for the provincial and national program team in Kinshasa for the second time, GFA experts from over 12 provinces across the DRC gathered to share experiences and discuss challenges that they face in their role as fiscal agents/assurance providers within the field units. This meeting highlighted the critical importance of knowledge sharing to improve project implementation at the provincial level and to foster the strong sense of team spirit that defines our GFA Fiscal Agent/Assurance Provider work in the DRC. A great start to our new project phase with GAVI and the Global Fund.

GFA, as Fiscal Agent (FA) for the Global Fund and Assurance Provider (AP) for GAVI in DRC, provides a wide range of financial management services in the implementation of our donors' activities, working with our clients to ensure that all requests to commit funds or make payments as part of grant implementation are properly executed. In this capacity, the FA diligently monitors, disburses and provides all necessary services to ensure that all financial management activities are carried out in strict compliance with the policies, rules and procedures established by the Global Fund/GAVI and the local government. With more than 40 long-term experts, the GFA oversees activities in Kinshasa and has a full-time presence in more than 12 provinces throughout the country.
