Against this backdrop, the CCM Sierra Leone contracted Health Systems Consult Limited (HSCL) to support the development of grant documents for HIV, TB, Malaria and RSSH components. HSCL also provided advisory services to the country to optimize her grant management processes for improved efficiency.
