High level panel

ABSTRACT The Report of the High-Level Panel is anything but dull. It is easily the most high-profile and frank review that has ever been conducted of the Global Fund. Many of the observations and recommendations are worthy of very serious consideration. However, other observations and recommendations raise as many questions as they answer.

ABSTRACT GFO is planning a lengthy Commentary on the High-Level Panel report, its recommendations, and the response by the Global Fund to those recommendations. Readers who have views on those matters are invited to submit them to the Editor.

ABSTRACT Among those who commented publicly, the report of the High-Level Independent Review Panel was well received. However, concerns were expressed about some of the Panel's recommendations. This article provides a summary.
