The Global Fund: Managing Great Expectations
This Lancet article reports interim findings of Tracking Studies in Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Whilst too early to estimate the Fund’s effectiveness, the article notes tensions within and between elements of the Fund’s governance architecture, and highlights the limited capacity of governments to respond to the Fund’s performance-based demands.

Tracking the Global Fund in Four Countries: An Interim Report
This synthesis of primary data from Tracking Studies in Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia found that the Global Fund was country-led, promoted public-private partnerships, and could be used to fill funding gaps; but it was also too disease focused, had the potential to undermine health systems, and faced a number of implementation challenges.

Community Perspectives on Systems Effects of HIV/AIDS Funding in South Africa
The report looks at 3 factors affecting health systems which received HIV/AIDS funding – additionality, partnerships, and sustainability – and highlights a lack of local level coordination (which hampers the value of additional funding), and counter-productive competition between organizations (which impedes the potential value of partnerships) as two important challenges facing HIV/AIDS interventions.

GF and World Bank HIV/AIDS Program: Comparative Advantage Study
Both the GF and the WB had significant strengths. The comparative advantage of the GF was as a financing rather than an implementing agency; whereas the comparative advantage of the WB was its capacity to fund and strengthen health systems and sectors. The challenge was how to convert the GF and the WB into complementary agencies, maximising efficiency and effectiveness in roles and programmes.

Linking Local Knowledge with Global Action
The prinipal finding of this study is that the Global Fund created strong incentives for knowledge to flow to local implementers, but little encouragement and few structures for lessons from implementation to flow back to improve global best practice or research-based knowledge. In other words, the flow of information was ‘one-way’.
Further information can be obtained from Aisling Walsh or from Neil Spicer, or from any of the individual country researchers.
