Budget framework

ABSTRACT Global Fund donors are expected to give the Fund about $11.7 billion over the three years 2011-2013, according to statements they made at a pledging session earlier this week in New York. This is 20% more than the $9.7 billion that was pledged three years ago for the 2008-2010 period; but it is significantly less than the Global Fund says that it needs.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund Board has now approved funding for 31 Round 9 proposals that had been recommended by the Technical Review Panel, but for which formal approval was delayed because sufficient funds were not available.

ABSTRACT The main decision points are summarised.
