The Civil Society Fund (CSF) is a multi-donor funded common basket initiative established in 2007 through a Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Uganda (GoU) and AIDS Development Partners (ADPs). The governance of CSF is under the custody of a thirteen (13) member Board comprising representatives nominated by the four key constituencies of CSF; Uganda AIDS Commission (UAC-2), Line Government Ministries (3), Civil Society (6), and AIDS Development Partners (ADPs-2). There are five (5) ADPs currently contributing to the Fund, namely; USAID, DANIDA, DFID, Irish Aid and the Embassy of Sweden. The goal of the CSF is to ensure that civil society provision of prevention, care, treatment, and social support services in HIV/AIDS is of high quality, harmonized and streamlined in support of the National Strategic Plan for HIV/AIDS (NSP), the National Priority Action Plan for HIV/AIDS (NPAP), the OVC policies and other related guidelines. The (CSF) achieves this through provision of grants and capacity building services to civil society organisations to scale up effective and comprehensive HIV and AIDS prevention and care services, as well as multisectoral services to Ugandan orphans and other vulnerable children. After 6 years in operation, the CSF has recorded progress and achieved results that contribute to the national targets in the thematic areas of HIV prevention, care and treatment, and social support. CSF supported programme interventions target persons living with HIV (PLHIV), orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) as well as general populations in the eight (8) HIV sub-regions of Uganda. The journey of revising CSF management structure from three management agents (financial, technical, M&E) to one (lead management agent) started back in 2007 through a study to document CSF since inception. The new CSF management structure will adopt the governance framework described in the CSF Board Charter 2012 supported by an executive arm (Secretariat) run by a selected service provider (lead anagement agent-LMA). Some of the main reasons given by the stakeholders in favor of a merged management structure i. If a legal entity is recruited based on competences the lead management agent will be able to deliver all the three CSF management functions at a relatively lower cost, constituting less than 18 % of the annual fund income; ii It will create one source of leadership and accountability hence strengthen performance monitoring mechanisms and avoid fragmented management approach to service delivery; iii. It is more economical in terms of procurement and logistical management for both CSF and the lead agent; iv. It will foster the principle of social accountability in the civil society response by coordinating the three pillars of the CSF (UAC, ADPs and CSOs). We therefore wish to recruit a service provider that has the following experience: — Clear understanding of the Government of Uganda's developmental agenda and national public health related plans, policies and guidelines; — Experience in offering financial and technical assistance to organizations in the development sector preferably those with operations almost similar to the CSF; — Experience with decentralized capacity building approaches that target the civil society organizations at the grass roots.
