Rating
What This Rating Means |
PERFORMING Adequate
This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
- The Global Fund reported that it met its 2008 targets. In December 2008, it reported 400,000 new HIV/AIDS patients on anti-retroviral treatment (to 2 million total); 1.8 million additional TB cases treated through Directly Observed Treatment (DOTS) (to 4.6 million total); and 24 million additional treated bed nets distributed for malaria prevention (to 70 million total).
- Several aspects of the Global Fund's financial management practices require review and strengthening. Local Fund Agents must verify and report on expenditures made by grant Principal Recipients. The Secretariat also requires reporting on grant budgets broken down by programmatic activity.
