ABSTRACT

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 Promising early results from the Global Fund’s strategic initiative for differentiated HIV service delivery provide useful lessons for the next round of catalytic investments.

ABSTRACT A new report on HIV prevention in Southern Africa points out that the needs of the most important population groups are not being addressed. Generalized prevention programs are unlikely to reach or cater to the needs of younger people and key populations. Targeted and increased prevention funding is necessary to accelerate change. The report provides a contemporary overview of HIV prevention funding in Southern Africa in ten selected countries. Its purpose is to support advocacy efforts that increase spending to the requisite levels and end the epidemic.

ABSTRACT Using the Global Fund’s data service, Aidspan takes a look at which countries received increases in their total allocations of 50% or more, as well as the top 20 countries with the largest allocations for each of the three diseases in this 2020-2022 cycle (Mozambique, India and Nigeria for HIV, TB and malaria, respectively).

ABSTRACT Southern African countries with large mining communities and thus high exposure to TB risk have developed a joint approach to address screening, tracking, tracing and treatment among the highly mobile population.

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.

ABSTRACT The Executive Secretary of Mozambique’s Country Coordinating Mechanism was found to have embezzled $22,593 from Global Fund grant monies and was responsible for ‘non-compliant expenditures’ of $26,020 overall, including payments not supported by appropriate documentation. The OIG released a report on its investigation into the misappropriation of funds on 13 November 2018. The Secretariat is seeking the recovery of $24,587, which takes into account one reimbursement already made by the Executive Secretary.

RÉSUMÉ Les fluctuations monétaires constituent une préoccupation importante pour les parties prenantes du Fonds mondial, notamment les pays bénéficiaires dont la monnaie peut connaître des variations significatives sur des périodes relativement courtes. La force du dollar US et de l’euro ces dernières années a encore aggravé le problème pour de nombreux pays. Cependant, une part significative des crédits de subvention du Fonds mondial est gérée de manière à limiter leur vulnérabilité face à ces fluctuations locales, protégeant ainsi les subventions de pertes majeures dues à des taux de change défavorables.

ABSTRACT Currency fluctuations are a major concern for Global Fund stakeholders, particularly recipient countries whose domestic currency can experience significant shifts over relatively short periods of time. The strength of both the US dollar and the Euro in recent years has further exacerbated this issue for many countries. However, a significant portion of Global Fund grant monies are managed in ways that limit their vulnerability to such local shifts, thereby protecting grants from major losses due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
