Global Fund Awards 3 New Grants for Central Asia
In late October, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria approved three grant applications from Central Asia. Grants for Kazakhstan ($9.8 million) and Kyrgyzstan ($10 million) will support expanded work in TB control and prevention, while a $28 million grant for Tajikistan will finance both TB and HIV/AIDS work. In each country, USAID provided significant support for application process, as with the $104 million Global Fund grants received in the region during earlier rounds. USAID staff coordinated extensive technical assistance from its implementing partners in developing the drafts, ensured linkages to USAID’s ongoing strategies and programs in the region, and assisted with final reviews.
