Annual Report 2017

2017 was a significant year for Aidspan; it was the mid-point in our 2016-18 strategic plan and marked the beginning of the 15th year as an independent observer of the Global Fund to fight HIV, TB and malaria (hereafter the Global Fund). This same year, the Global Fund adopted a new six-year strategy for the 2017 – 2022 period and launched its next three-year implementation period. Aidspan is aware of many grant implementation challenges, absorption capacity and policy interpretation issues, both at the Secretariat and country levels. Over the years, Aidspan has continued to report on, analyse, and comment on these challenges, as well provide actionable recommendations. For instance, during the funding request process in 2017, many country requests for stand-alone Resilient and Sustainable Systems For Health (RSSH) were denied at the initial stages. In that context, Aidspan’s timely publication on this topic was critical in raising awareness and discussion during the subsequent board meeting (see GFO 310 Uganda and Zimbabwe).
