Obama Administration Expected To Announce $4B Pledge To Global Fund
"The Obama administration is expected on Tuesday to announce a large increase in its pledge to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and to call for reform of the organization," the Wall Street Journal reports. "The pledge of $4 billion over the next three fiscal years to the Geneva-based organization comes as governments and donors around the world have slowed increases in spending to combat HIV/AIDS, with weaker economies straining budgets," the newspaper adds (McKay, 10/5).
