Board Stymied on Picking New AIDS, TB Chief

November 2, 2006

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.
