Ambitious national targets for getting people on treatment often not reflected in grant performance frameworks, GAC says
ABSTRACT
The Grant Approvals Committee says it is very concerned that ambitious treatment goals in national programs are often not reflected in grant performance frameworks because of limitations in the allocations. The committee raised this issue in its report to the Board on the third batch of grant approvals for 2017-2019. The GAC called for urgent inter-agency discussions and it said that donor governments should be included in the talks.

The country has been singled out by the Global Fund for these achievements. However, Ethiopia still faces a number of challenges.
Global Fund and PEPFAR Announce New Treatment Numbers
ABSTRACT
The Global Fund and PEPFAR announced that between them they are now supporting antiretroviral treatment for 1.2 million people living with AIDS, a doubling in the past year. (However, the fact that they are "supporting" treatment for this number does not mean that they are "providing" all aspects of treatment for this number.)
International AIDS Conference Roundup
ABSTRACT
The International AIDS Conference ended today. Thanks in large part to criticisms of President Bush's $15 billion PEPFAR initiative, the Global Fund was widely and somewhat simplistically portrayed by many as the funding source that could do no wrong. The Fund received unexpectedly strong endorsements from former President Nelson Mandela and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
