Let’s shift our thinking: Tailoring Global Fund support to country needs
aidspan.org - "The recently adopted Global Fund Strategic Framework 2017-2022 sets important parameters for the partnership to support countries in ending the three epidemics. The new strategic framework will strengthen systems for universal health coverage in line with the Sustainable Developments Goals.
It focuses our efforts on those countries and populations with the greatest needs, and challenges us to find tailored (i.e. “differentiated”) approaches. It puts resilient and sustainable systems for health, based on human rights and gender equality, at the core of the Global Fund’s agenda. If we take our joint vision to end the epidemics seriously, these principles have to guide the Global Fund’s future work. (...)
We need to tailor the Global Fund’s support to individual country contexts, both in terms of what is funded as well as how grants are managed. This requires more flexibility in our systems." (by Reinhard Tittel-Gronefeld)
