To better deliver on the Global Fund Strategy 2017-2022, the CCM model and structures were strengthened through the CCM Evolution project. The 39^th GF Board Meeting approved a phased rollout of CCM Evolution. The pilot implementation phase of the project, running from September 2018 through the end of 2019, aims to improve the performance of CCMs. Among 18 CCMs participating in the pilot phase, Nepal is one of them.
