The scheme’s first five-year target is, by the end of 2012, to provide all India’s BPL families with enough health insurance to avoid catastrophic health expenses due to serious illness or injury.

Global Fund welcomes call by Independent High Level Panel for stronger financial safeguards (Adobe PDF file 152 pp. 1.6 MB)

19 September 2011

An independent panel of distinguished individuals commissioned by the Global Fund to review its financial controls has recommended major changes in the way the Global Fund does its business and manages its grants. The Panel finds that the Global Fund needs to focus much more on its core business of managing grants to save and protect lives. It recommends improving financial and Board oversight, simplifying grant application processes, and putting in place a robust risk management framework.

BMZ welcomes the Panel’s work and recommendations. Minister Niebel wants to release the second part of the 2011 contribution from Germany after a road map for the implementation of the recommendation has been approved by the Board. He expects this to happen no later than end September, having a special Board Meeting in mind which will take place in Geneva next week.
