Results

ABSTRACT With the Sixth Replenishment Conference just a few weeks away, the Global Fund has released its Results Report 2019 containing data to the end of 2018. The results show that health programs supported by the Fund have resulted in 32 million lives saved. In addition, 18.9 million people are receiving antiretroviral treatment; 5.3 million people were treated for TB in 2018; and 131 million mosquito nets were distributed in 2018.

ABSTRACT In his first report as Executive Director to the Global Fund Board, eight months after assuming his new role, Peter Sands outlined progress made in the fight against the diseases, how the Fund has executed against its own strategic priorities, his view of transformation towards greater efficiency and effectiveness, and his vision of the Global Fund’s role as a partner, catalyst and influencer, especially with regard to SDG 3.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund’s Results Report 2018, published on 12 September, is the first such report to use a revised methodology for tracking and reporting impact and results achieved by the Global Fund partnership. The report records large increases in the numbers of lives saved and people treated for the three diseases.

ABSTRACT The “Results Report 2017” provides results for the period ending December 2016. In passing, the report revealed that the Global Fund is embarking on an ambitious fundraising drive to raise $500 million before the next replenishment conference.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund continues to show impressive gains with respect to the number of people receiving key services as a result of programs supported by the Fund. Some of the gains reflect increased uptake of services, while others are the result of better reporting.

ABSTRACT Programs supported by The Global Fund added another 787,000 people on antiretroviral treatment in the first half of 2016, bringing cumulative results to 10 million. During that same period, the number of smear-positive TB cases detected and treated increased by 1.4 million (cumulative total: 15.6 million); and the number of mosquito nets distributed rose by 54 million (cumulative total: 713 million). In a comment, Aidspan says that it difficult to know how much of the increase in numbers of people receiving services is due to better counting.

ABSTRACT The Board has been told that the Global Fund is on track to meet 10 of the 14 KPIs due for reporting this year, and that among those it is showing strong progress on achieving its strategic goals of saving lives and averting infections. The Fund is unlikely to meet its targets for measuring the quality and coverage of its services, and is still unable to effectively measure its Health System Strengthening activities.

ABSTRACT There is just over a week left until the Global Funds Fifth Replenishment Conference. This articles provides a round-up of the latest developments. The U.S. has pledged up to $4.3 billion; in the last replenishment, it contributed $4.1 billion.

ABSTRACT With just a week to go to its Fifth Replenishment Conference, the Global Fund has released more results. It estimates that programs the Fund has supported have already saved 20 million lives, and that this number should grow to 22 million by the end of 2016.
