Financing

ABSTRACT This study from the Kaiser Family Foundation and UNAIDS finds donor government funding for HIV rose to US$8.1 billion in 2017, from $7 billion in 2016, due to a shift in the timing of U.S. disbursements. This would appear to contradict recent reports of a 'flat-lining' of donor funding for the HIV response, but the study says this boost included funds appropriated but not spent from previous years.

ABSTRACT There were many sessions on topics related to the Global Fund at the 21st International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2016) in Durban, South Africa. This article provides an overview.

ABSTRACT That the Global Fund is strongly promoting sustainability measures – and not just in middle-income countries – was evident in the grants approved by the Board in November.

RÉSUMÉ Le Japon organisera en décembre 2015 une réunion préparatoire au lancement de la cinquième reconstitution des ressources du Fonds mondial qui débutera mi-2016. Si la mobilisation des ressources se focalisera vraisemblablement sur les donateurs traditionnels, des efforts accrus ont été déployés pour lever des fonds auprès de particuliers très fortunés mais surtout de sources nationales dans les pays bénéficiaires.

ABSTRACT The Fund has launched a "Debt2Health" initiative that could generate substantial funds. The initiative is a form of debt conversion, in which Western governments that are owed money by developing countries agree to cancel a portion of the debt on condition that the developing countries in question invest money in Global Fund-approved programmes.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund will need to at least triple in size by 2010 -- reaching a spending target of $6 billion per year -- to meet projected demand, the Fund's Board agreed on Friday. Further increased demand from developing countries for Global Fund financing could potentially raise this figure to $8 billion.
