Mixed results from audit of Global Fund grants in Nepal, says OIG
ABSTRACT
This second audit by the Office of the Inspector General of Global Fund grants in Nepal found ‘partially effective’ systems and mechanisms to ensure quality of services for HIV and TB to intended beneficiaries, while implementation arrangements to ensure achievement of grant objectives need significant improvement. The country is, however, ahead of schedule to eliminate malaria.
Nepal’s funding requests to the Global Fund yield three grants to be managed by an international NGO
ABSTRACT
The Global Fund Board recently approved a TB, an HIV and a malaria grant for Nepal, all of which have a civil society principal recipient: Save the Children Federation. The Technical Review Panel cited numerous strengths in the funding requests, including the fact that Nepal is on its way towards malaria elimination, and that the country is planning to assume 100% of ARV costs by 2020 and triple its financial commitments to the TB program. However, there are concerns that lack of progress on human rights could compromise the attainment of HIV diagnosis and care targets.
