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 article reports on recent developments concerning the Fourth Replenishment.
ABSTRACT France announced that it will contribute approximately $467 million a year to the Global Fund for the period 2014–2016. This is about the same amount as France pledged for 2011–2013.
ABSTRACT Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has told civil society representatives that France has no intention of reducing its future contributions to the Global Fund. There had been speculation that it might do so.
ABSTRACT “If we don’t seize this moment, we will be dealing with these diseases for generations,” said Global Fund Executive Director Mark Dybul at the Preparatory Meeting of the Global Fund Fourth Replenishment, held on 9-10 April in Brussels.
ABSTRACT Pledges to the Global Fund for 2011–2013 are up about 13% over the amount pledged at the replenishment conference in October 2010 in New York, according to a new report from the Fund. The difference comes primarily from pledges announced after the conference.
ABSTRACT US President Obama’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 contains a provision for $1.65 billion for the Global Fund. This appears to be the first tranche of the US pledge for 2014–2016.
ABSTRACT The Global Fund has set a goal of raising $15 billion for the 2014–2016 replenishment. This is an increase of almost 50% over what was pledged for 2011–2013. The Fund says that if it can raise $15 billion, 87% of the total need for HIV, TB and malaria for 2014–2016 could be covered. Activists say that $15 billion is the minimum amount that should be raised.
ABSTRACT Executive Director Mark Dybul says that use of the historic disease split – 52% HIV, 16% TB and 32% malaria – applies to the totality of funding in 2013–2014 and not just to the transition funding.
ABSTRACT Friends from donor countries mostly carry out mobilisation of political and financial support for the Fund while those from grant receiving countries focus on raising awareness about the three diseases.
