The Global Fund and a new modus operandi.

摘要

On Nov 21-22, the Global Fund to FightAIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria held its 25th Board meeting in Accra, Ghana. Tensions were high as the Fund had to make difficult decisions in a year that has been plagued by financial shortfalls, corruption, and calls for organisational reforms. In view of the financial challenges presented by the US budget environment and the Euro crisis, the Fund has now decided to cancel grantfunding for round 11, which will be a huge setback to these disease programmes worldwide.
