CGD's Global Fund Forum was featured in a piece by AllAfrica.
The Global Fund has "missed the point" by jumping directly into the politically very sensitive issue of an allocation model (i.e. how to divide the money). This is the view of Anders Nordström, Ambassador for Global Health at the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, as expressed on a new online forum.
The Global Fund Forum was recently launched by the Centre for Global Development to present the views of prominent thinkers and practitioners on what reforms the Global Fund should prioritize and how it should best fulfil its mandate. The initial posts are from Mr Nordström; Erin Hohlfeder, Policy Director, Global Health at ONE; and Prashant Yadav, Director Healthcare Research at the William Davidson Institute, University of Michigan.
The Global Fund Forum will add new perspectives in the coming weeks. In addition, readers are invited to join the discussion on the page that introduces the forum.
