Board Stymied on Picking New AIDS, TB Chief

Senior fellow Steve Radelet was quoted in this article about the decision of the Global Fund's board not to select a new Executive Director during their recent talks in Guatemala City.

From the article:

Steven Radelet, a senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank Center for Global Development, which recently produced a report on new challenges facing the fund, said the failure to elect a new leader "is not good for the organization," but added that "trying to force through one candidate wouldn't be good, either." "I think it's a good process in that they clearly give voice to developing countries in a much stronger way" than the World Bank or International Monetary Fund, he said.
