ABSTRACT Donors are expected to give the Global Fund at least $9.7 billion over the next three years, 57% more than they gave over the past three years.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund has launched a campaign to raise awareness about the Fund. It includes a video that conceptually illustrates disease being confronted by the Global Fund. It does this by showing a street-fighting bully who is eventually knocked flat by an even bigger fighter.
