ABSTRACT The Global Fund is preparing to hold meetings of the three Committees 3-4 Strategy, Audit & Finance and Ethics & Governance. In this article we provide you with a flavour of the upcoming agenda topics. Perhaps the most important topic will be the Strategy Committee’s discussion on the proposed Qualitative Adjustment process to the Allocation Methodology 2023-2025, for which a decision is required.

ABSTRACT Our editorial team’s summary of what you can expect from this issue of the Global Fund Observer in the lead up to the first of 2022’s Global Fund Board meetings.

RÉSUMÉ À l’occasion de la 17ème réunion des Comités de l’audit et des finances, d’éthique et de gouvernance et de la stratégie du Fonds mondial, dont les membres se réuniront virtuellement, plusieurs sujets clés seront abordés. Toutefois, le thème le plus important est sans aucun doute l’avant-projet de la stratégie, or une heure quart seulement a été prévue pour en discuter. Est-ce réellement suffisant pour un sujet de cette importance ?

ABSTRACT As the Global Fund 17th Audit & Finance, Ethics & Governance, and Strategy Committee meetings brings members together virtually, there are several key areas of interest up for discussion. However, undoubtedly the most important topic is the zero draft of the Strategy Narrative and only an hour and fifteen minutes is scheduled to discuss this. Is this really enough time for a topic of such magnitude?

ABSTRACT The Strategy Committee meeting to be held during the first week of October will cover many topics but possibly none as important as the zero draft of the Strategy Narrative, which it will have to consider for recommendation to the Board. This article looks at the viewpoints of almost 20 groups of stakeholders on that draft Strategy Narrative and presents a summary of their views.

ABSTRACT On 15 June, the Global Fund Strategy Committee held an extraordinary meeting to discuss the revised Global Fund Strategy Framework which took into account stakeholders’ views on the proposed Strategy revisions following the Sixth Partnership Forums health earlier this year.
