Executive Summary
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has had to cancel its next funding round and implement new measures for the use of its now insufficient resources. The organisation had targeted $20 billion for its Round 11 funding, with a bottom threshold of $13 billion, but in the event it has garnered only $11.7 billion. Budget challenges in donor countries and low interest rates contribute to a continuing negative outlook.
