ABSTRACT On 23 May 2017, Tanzania requested $703.4 million from the Global Fund for its HIV, TB and malaria programs as well as for building resilient and sustainable systems for health. Two new civil society principal recipients will implement a host of new and innovative interventions, including finding TB cases through “boda bodas” and “sputum fixers” and combining condoms with sanitary wear in dignity packs provided to out-of-school girls.

ABSTRACT Mozambique, where malaria is nationally endemic and still a major driver of mortality especially among children, is a good example of how collaboration between government, civil society and the private sector can contribute to an effective response to the disease.

ABSTRACT Two suppliers of mosquito nets implicated in corrupt practices in Cambodia see their suspensions lifted by the Global Fund and will be required to accede to a series of compliance conditions in order to continue as contractors.

ABSTRACT Niger is in its final stages of procuring nets and first-line malaria treatment under an $18.1 million transitional funding request, in time for the rainy season beginning in June.

ABSTRACT Two of the Global Fund’s top suppliers of mosquito nets have been suspended following an investigation in Cambodia that revealed they paid $410,712 in kickbacks for supply contracts worth over $11 million.

ABSTRACT Distribution of insecticide-treated nets in sub-Saharan Africa needs to more than double current levels, according to the Global Fund’s “Update on Results and Impact” report.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund has announced that 1.75 million people living with HIV have been reached with ARV treatment through AIDS programs it supports, a 59 per cent increase over the totals as of a year ago. In addition, 3.9 million people have been put on TB drugs treatment, and 59 million insecticide-treated bed nets have been distributed.
