ABSTRACT Aidspan has officially launched a new data analysis tool designed to provide comprehensive information about historical and current pledges and contributions to the Global Fund.

ABSTRACT This GFO brings you the latest on the allocation letters, which at the time of writing are due to be dispatched within the next week. We also discuss the presentation made to the Board on the Thematic Report on Gender, why we still have no idea what we’re doing when it comes to pandemics, and what major health issues remain unresolved at the end of 2022.

ABSTRACT The allocation letters for each country with a summary of the country’s disease split are due to be sent out shortly. However, it is possible they may be further delayed as the Global Fund works furiously to reflect the revised allocation split based on the additional pledges that were made while the Board was in session during the third week in November. Should the Window 1 deadline therefore be delayed commensurately?

Most importantly, it supports the country to conceptualize and prioritize the inclusion deep impact health system strengthening interventions in the next GF funding cycle. Those lessons should be shared between the countries and the pilot activities included as routine interventions to make the implementation easier and achieve a greater impact
