Reviewing Changes At The Global Fund
"[T]he newly appointed temporary General Manager Gabriel Jaramillo and his team has moved forward to 'transform' the Global Fund [to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria] with considerable speed and deftness, restoring confidence among bilateral donors (such as Japan and several others) and country recipients as well as improving morale among the Fund's staff," Victoria Fan, a research fellow at the Center for Global Development (CGD), writes in CGD's "Global Health Policy" blog. She explores some of the changes at the Global Fund and how "these changes help the Fund to achieve better health outcomes." Fan writes, "In particular, I am very encouraged about the prospect of two changes: (1) the creation of a new Division called 'Strategic Investment and Impact Evaluation' which will shape the optimal portfolio of investments by country and disease ..., and (2) the creation of new committees for each disease (AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria) that will meet monthly" (4/25).
