ABSTRACT The Global Fund has recently informed Cameroon of its decision to de-commit €10 million from its 2017–2019 allocation for failing to meet co-financing commitments. It has also published its 31st edition of the COVID-19 Situation Report, which details the effect of COVID-19 on the malaria response.
ABSTRACT In the latest batch of funding approvals from the Global Fund Board, three country grants and two multicountry grants were awarded $36 million. The Board also approved funding in the amount of $66 million for interventions on the Unfunded Quality Demand Register. Some of the funding for the UQD interventions came from private sector contributions.

Some key initiatives were relegated to the prioritized above-allocation requests due to a lack of available funding.

RÉSUMÉ La deuxième édition du « Shadow Report » publié en juillet 2016 par l'organisation For Impacts on Social Health (FIS) constate des lacunes dans les services de lutte contre le paludisme pour les femmes enceintes au Cameroun.
