In February 2011 the UK Department for International Development (DfID) launched a report of their Multilateral Aid Review (MAR) which claimed the Global Fund to fight AIDS TB and Malaria (GFATM) to be \u0091very good value for money\u0092.<\/p>\n
Andrew Mitchell, the Secretary of State for International Development, has pledged that those organisations in the \u0091very good\u0092 bracket will get increased funding although the amount of funding that will be made available is still to be decided.<\/p>\n
In 2010 The UK contributed $313, 565,165.<\/p>\n
In the last HTB we included an article from Global Fund Observer reporting corruption within Global Fund. This had stopped funds to several African countries and had led to Germany pulling out of future funding commitments. However, this DfID report is leading a turn-around in the Global Fund\u0092s credibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Global Fund, and indeed DfID, like to promote the GFATM\u0092s major success as \u0093providing AIDS treatment to 3 million people\u0094. While this is good news and represents about half those on treatment it is important to remember that coverage far from meets need and 14.6 million remain in need of treatment now. <\/strong><\/p>\n References:<\/p>\n The DfID Multilateral Aid Review: Taking forward the findings of the UK MAR Report The Gloab Fund press release about the UK MAR: The Global Fund pledges and contributions spreadsheet:
