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 2007 targets. In December 2007, it reported 630,000 new HIV/AIDS patients on anti-retroviral treatment (to 1.4 million total); 1.3 million additional TB cases treated through Directly Observed Treatment (DOTS) (to 3.3 million total); and 28 million additional treated bed nets distributed for malaria prevention (to 46 million total).
- Several aspects of the Global Fund's financial management practices require review and strengthening. The Fund is putting in place a new mechanism to evaluate performance of Local Fund Agents, which must verify and report on expenditures made by grant Principal Recipients. The Secretariat has put in place a new requirement to report on grant budgets broken down by programmatic activity.
