World Vision is the Principal Recipient (PR) for Global Fund grant for TB and Malaria in the Solomon Islands. The primary implementer of the National Malaria and TB response is the Ministry of Health and Medical Services. World Vision partners with MHMS and other technical partners to manage the grant, which serves to complement the national response for TB and Malaria, as part of National Health plan for SI.
World Vision reports to Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) of Solomon Islands which oversees the grant, which coordinating directly with MHMS at national and provincial levels. In early 2025, due to the global health funding scenario, the Global Fund mid-cycle grant reprioritization commenced with significant budget reduction. At the same time, it was evident that RSSH will receive more attention due to the existing service delivery, data management and supply chain gaps in the country. PR is building on lessons learned from 2024 for strategic support to the National programs. PR also facilitated the development and submission of transition plan (TP) and capacity development of MHMS to the Global Fund in Dec 2024, as one of the grant conditions. Since then, not much has been done for the transition plan implementation as MHMS and the Global Fund need to finalize the operational and funding details. The grant operations will also undergo major shift with reduced funding and completion of mass campaign for mosquito nets by Nov 2025. Provincial coordination will be focused on supply chain, data management and laboratory-program synergy and support.
Provincial support in Malaita is an important area of intervention for the program, considering Malaita is one of the largest provinces geographically, having about 80 functional health facilities and contributes much to the TB and Malaria disease burden. The provincial communicable disease coordinator recruited in July 2025 will provide much needed coordination support to the program teams and provincial health services.
Also, as the grant has intensified focus on RSSH, PR intends to enhance of the role of the Malaita PCDC to function RSSH Coordinator to support RSSH Manager for national level activities as well.
PR RSSH Coordinator will facilitate collaboration within PR team (M&E, supply chain) and prioritize National laboratory and provincial laboratory coordination. He will work closely with RSSH Manager in the implementation of RSSH activities in 2026, which providing implementation support for Malaita. Core duties will be addressing data management and also support for coordination with NRL and National Public Health laboratory and if needed, support for implementation of TP and capacity development plan, as approved by the Global Fund.
