Ghana

RÉSUMÉ Les premiers succès remportés par le Ghana dans le cadre de l'Initiative stratégique pour la prestation de services différenciés en matière de VIH du Fonds mondial montrent qu'un financement externe a toujours un impact maximal si l'infrastructure existante est préparée de manière adéquate avant de recevoir le financement, et si les structures nationales sont suffisamment solides pour fournir des conseils, coordonner les parties prenantes et suivre les progrès de la mise en œuvre. Ces leçons ne sont pas seulement applicables au programme VIH du Fonds mondial au Ghana, mais peuvent également être transférées à d'autres subventions, institutions de financement et pays.

ABSTRACT Ghana’s early successes in the Global Fund’s Differentiated HIV Service Delivery Strategic Initiative shows that external funding always has the most impact if the existing infrastructure is adequately prepared prior to receiving the funding, and in-country structures are strong enough to provide guidance, coordinate stakeholders and monitor implementation progress. These lessons are not only applicable to the Global Fund’s HIV program in Ghana, but can also be transferred to other grants, other financing institutions and other countries.

RÉSUMÉ Les premiers résultats prometteurs de l’initiative stratégique du Fonds mondial pour la prestation de services différenciés liés au VIH fournissent des enseignements utiles pour le prochain cycle d’investissements catalytiques.

ABSTRACT Results from Phase 1 of the multi-donor Joint Learning Agenda on Health Financing and Universal Health Coverage were presented at a recent webinar. This innovative capacity building program is aimed at civil society in ten Anglophone and ten Francophone countries and aims to build community capacity to advocate for greater domestic resources allocations for health. The need to empower communities to advocate strongly for bigger health budgets will be even more important in this Seventh Replenishme

ABSTRACT This Office of the Inspector General report on its investigation of corrupt and coercive practices, including sexual exploitation and abuse, by a recipient of Global Fund grant funds in Ghana has, as the report title suggests, implications for all Global Fund grants.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund Board has approved $57.9 million in funding for portfolio optimization, following recommendations from the Secretariat's Grant Approvals Committee to the Board, to finance interventions listed on the Register of Unfunded Quality Demand. The additional funds will address challenges related to Algeria's HIV program transitioning out of Global Fund support, will back Ethiopia's initiative to roll out an updated national TB policy, will support Ghana’s procurement of long-lasting insecticidal nets for 2021 mass distribution, will bolster TB case detection and diagnosis in Nigeria, and will support procurement of the new multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment in Uzbekistan.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund requires annual audits of its grants, with countries’ own ‘supreme audit institutions’ (SAIs) as the preferred auditors of grants managed by state Principal Recipients. The supreme audit institutions of Ghana, Kenya, and Rwanda are among the few SAIs that already conduct annual audits of Global Fund grants in sub-Saharan Africa. These three SAIs, however, vary in their external audit performance.

ABSTRACT In a follow-up audit of Global Fund grants to Ghana, the Office of the Inspector General found that oversight and coordination, supply chain, data and financial management all need significant improvement, as do systems, processes and controls on quality of services for the three diseases. The OIG commended the country’s progress against malaria, on community-level services, and in the development of its National Health Insurance Scheme.
