Global Fund chief: 'I'm not going to count my chickens'
Devex - "NEW YORK — In two weeks, the global health community will find out if it is still possible to achieve ambitious funding goals at a moment of multilateral disarray — and if so, how.
(...) With two weeks to go before the replenishment conference, Global Fund Executive Director Peter Sands was in New York during the United Nations General Assembly, working to rally support and make the case for investing in the fight against three global epidemics.
“I’m not going to count my chickens,” Sands told Devex in an interview. But he said the fund appears to be “in a pretty good place.”
Five of the G-7 largest economies in the world have made pledges to the fund. The only two remaining are France — which, as host of the replenishment, is expected to issue its pledge in Lyon — and the United States." (Photo: Brainstorm Health/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
