ABSTRACT The Office of the Inspector General conducted for the first time an audit of the Geneva Global Health Campus’s management processes. The audit rated the Global Health Campus project’s management of key risks as ‘effective’, while rating the overall management process as ‘partially effective’. The Global Health Campus has been home to the Global Fund, Unitaid, Stop TB and the RBM Partnership since March 2018. The Global Health Campus ‘project’ was designed to facilitate shared cost savings across the organizations, and to enhance operational collaboration between the global health partners.

ABSTRACT Global Fund Observer offers a focused profile of Unitaid, an organization that has deep synergies with the Global Fund. There are good reasons for Global Fund stakeholders – particularly those involved with funding request development and implementation planning – to be aware of how Unitaid works and what that can mean for HIV, TB and malaria programs at country level.

ABSTRACT This is the second of two articles on four global health financing mechanisms: the Global Fund, the Global Financing Facility, Gavi and Unitaid. The first article looked at the similarities among the mechanisms. The present article discusses the differences.

ABSTRACT Among major multilateral health financing mechanisms, there is notable overlap of objectives, recipients and donors. In the context of major shifts in the tone of international engagement among big health and aid donors, such as the U.S. and U.K., Aidspan reviews some of the top-level commonalities of the Global Fund, the Global Financing Facility, Gavi and Unitaid.
