* NEWS: Global Fund Approves Third Round of Grants, and Prepares for Round 4

The board has approved Round 3 grants with a 2-year cost of $623 million,
significantly less than expected. Round 4 will be launched on 10 January
2004.

* COMMENTARY: The Need for Technical Assistance

The evidence of Round 3 suggests that the technical merit of proposals being
submitted to the Fund is not increasing, and quite possibly is decreasing.
The Fund could usefully do more in encouraging other institutions to offer
technical assistance to countries that wish to obtain Global Fund financing.

* ANALYSIS: Round Three Decisions

A list is provided showing all eligible applications received in Round 3,
with the board's decision in each case. Also shown are countries that were
eligible to apply but did not do so.

NEWS: Global Fund Approves Third Round of Grants, and Prepares for Round 4

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

At its board meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on October 15-17, the Global
Fund board approved 71 grants that will cost $623 million over the first two
years. (For a complete list of approved and rejected proposals, see
"Analysis: Round Three Decisions," below.)

The cost of the approved grants was significantly less than had been
expected, and was 30% less than in Round 2. This was for three reasons:
fewer proposals than expected were submitted; most of these were modest in
size; and a smaller percentage than expected were approved.

The board meeting also agreed that Round 4 will be launched on 10 January
2004, with applications to be submitted by about the end of March and
approvals to be made at the board meeting in June. It appears likely that
Round 4 will be the only Round in 2004, and it is far from certain that
there will be any new Round in 2005, because first priority that year will
go to renewing Round 1 and 2 grants.

The board meeting in Chiang Mai went fairly smoothly. Many participants,
including from NGOs and developing countries, praised the way in which
Chairman Tommy Thompson ran the meeting fairly and efficiently.

The Fund issued the following press release on 16 October:

GLOBAL FUND COMMITS US$623 MILLION TO NEW GRANTS TO FIGHT AIDS, TB AND
MALARIA

Chiang Mai ? Meeting in Thailand, the Board of the Global Fund to Fight
AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria approved $623 million in new two-year grants
to programs fighting the three diseases. This brings the total amount
approved by the Board after three proposal rounds to US$2.1 billion to 125
countries.

"In less than two years the Global Fund has become a leading force in the
fight against these three deadly diseases," said Tommy G. Thompson, United
States Secretary of Health and Human Services and Chair of the Global Fund's
Board. "Working with its partners, the Global Fund is beginning to realize
our commitment to prevention and treatment at a global scale."

To cover the amount recommended for the third round of proposals, the Board
committed to fully funding the round by deferring until January 2004 formal
confirmation of a portion of proposals totaling $138 million out of the
US$623 million. Almost all proposals require additional technical
clarifications before funds are legally obligated.

In addition, the Board agreed to consider a fourth round of proposals for
approval at its meeting in June 2004, with guidelines and proposal forms to
be issued in January.

At the Board Meeting, people living with HIV and international partners,
including the World Health Organization and UNAIDS, affirmed the health
emergency arising from inadequate treatment of HIV. Donors and recipients
affirmed the need to make new commitments quickly and agreed on a calendar
for the next round.

"At this meeting, Members of the Board worked together towards a common
vision of the Global Fund as a major instrument in the world's fight against
these diseases," said Dr Richard Feachem, the Global Fund's Executive
Director. "Their concerns challenge us to do our work better, and to do more
to help the millions in need of support. Agreement by the Board on fully
funding Round 3 and quickly launching Round 4 is an important step forward."

About 60% of the funds approved are targeted at HIV/AIDS, and about the same
are destined for Africa. In total, 57% will be awarded to non-governmental
partners, who work with governments as part of public-private partnerships
called Country Coordinating Mechanisms that develop and submit proposals to
the Global Fund. Over the lifetime of the programs (two years with the
possibility of renewals for another three years based on performance), they
will increase the number of people living with HIV on antiretrovirals by
nearly 200,000 and allow for nearly 7 million people to access HIV voluntary
counseling and testing services. 18 million insecticide-treated nets to
prevent malaria transmission will be purchased with the latest approved
funds, and 760,000 treatments will be provided for tuberculosis.

In aggregate, the US$2.1 billion committed by the Global Fund to date is
characterized as follows, with additional information available on the
website:

By region: 60% Africa; 20% Asia, Middle East and North Africa; 11% Latin
America and the Caribbean; and 9% Eastern Europe.

By disease: 60% HIV/AIDS; 23% malaria; and 17% tuberculosis (with some funds
to joint disease proposals).

By expenditure target: 46% drugs & commodities; 25% human resources and
training; 15 physical infrastructure; 5% monitoring & evaluation; 4%
administrative costs; and 5% other.

By recipient: 50% government; 29% non-governmental and community-based
organizations; 5% private sector; 4% faith-based organizations; 3% people
living with the diseases; 3% academic institutions; 6% other.

***

The Global Fund is a unique cooperative endeavor between private and public
partners to advance global public health by improving underlying health
systems, by enabling multi-sector strategies and by investing in local
capacity ? all focused by the urgent need to prevent and treat the three
major infectious diseases of our time.

As a partnership of national governments from both donor and developing
countries, non-governmental organizations, affected communities,
corporations, foundations and international organizations, the Global Fund
is well positioned to complement existing domestic, bilateral and
multilateral initiatives with a major influx of new finances. As a
grant-making organization, the Global Fund has adopted a rigorous,
businesslike framework to attract, manage and invest substantial resources
in countries and communities where these three diseases have already reached
or are threatening to reach epidemic proportions.

COMMENTARY: The Need for Technical Assistance

by Bernard Rivers

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Long before Round 3 took place, the Secretariat projected that the cost of
Years 1-2 of grants approved in Round 3 would be about $1,600 m., almost
double the cost of Round 2. As it turned out, the cost of Round 3 approved
grants came to only $623 m., which is almost 30% *less* than in Round 2.
This was caused, in part, by the fact that the percentage of proposals
recommended by the Technical Review Panel (TRP) for approval went down.

This strongly suggests that the technical merit of proposals being submitted
to the Fund is not increasing, and quite possibly is decreasing.
Contributory reasons might be that the countries most capable of submitting
good applications had already done so in Rounds 1 and 2; that these
countries are not yet ready to submit applications for follow-up projects
(or don't realize that the Fund is very open to additional proposals being
submitted long before earlier projects have been completed); and that some
applicants ? particularly some NGOs and regional organizations ? simply
don't understand that the type of application they are submitting has almost
no chance of being recommended by the TRP.

Behind every rejected proposal is a sad story. It is not unknown for
Ministries of Health almost to come to a halt while they race to complete a
Global Fund proposal. There are also sad stories behind countries that have
never applied, or that were rejected once and did not try again.

Clearly, therefore, there is a strong need to increase the quality and
availability of Technical Assistance to help applicants with deciding
whether to apply, with crafting their actual applications to the Fund, and
with thinking through the underlying strategy. In addition, as more and
more countries get launched on the actual implementation of their Global
Fund projects, there is an increasing need for Technical Assistance
regarding project relationships (e.g. between Principal Recipient and
sub-recipients) and project implementation. Finally, many CCMs are
inefficient, and/or are mere extensions of governments. Help is needed to
overcome these problems.

The Global Fund is a financing mechanism; it does not have sufficient
staffing to provide technical assistance. But it could usefully do more in
encouraging multi-lateral and bilateral institutions, NGOs, companies and
academic institutions to offer technical assistance to countries that wish
to obtain Global Fund financing.

The meanings of the Categories are as follows:

* Category 1: Approved proposals for which the Technical Review Panel (TRP)
sought no clarifications or only minor ones. Clarifications must be
provided within 4 weeks. Final approval of clarifications must be issued by
the TRP Chair and/or Vice-Chair.

* Category 2: Approved proposals for which the TRP sought a number of
clarifications. Clarifications must be provided within 6 weeks. Any
follow-up queries must be answered and finally approved by the TRP within 3
to 4 months. Approval of clarifications must be issued by the TRP Chair
and/or Vice-Chair, plus the TRP primary and secondary reviewers.

Note: Proposals assigned to Category 2 were sub-divided into sub-Categories
2A and 2B, based on how many clarifications were needed. All these
proposals were approved, but for technical reasons, approval of the Category
2B proposals only takes full effect in January 2004. At a practical level,
this difference has no impact. All applicants whose proposals were approved
(i.e. whose proposals fell into Categories 1, 2A and 2B) will be asked to
answer the clarifications and then to negotiate grant agreements during the
remainder of 2003.

* Category 3: Proposals not recommended in their present form, but regarding
which applicants are encouraged to submit improved applications in future
Rounds.

* Category 4: Proposals not recommended for funding, and regarding which the
TRP provides no encouragement that applicants should re-apply in future
Rounds.

Further details on all the above grants should be available at
www.aidspan.org in the course of Tuesday October 21.

The table below shows that between Round 2 and Round 3, the percentage of
eligible proposals that were approved went down from 43% to 39%, and the
dollar value of the approved proposals went down from 41% to 34% of the
value of all eligible proposals.

This is an issue of the GLOBAL FUND OBSERVER (GFO) NEWSLETTER.

The GFO NEWSLETTER is an independent source of news, analysis and commentary
about the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (www.globalfundatm.org).
The GFO Newsletter is emailed to subscribers once or twice a month. It is
closely linked to the GFO DISCUSSION FORUM (see below).

GFO has an Editorial Advisory Board initially comprising ICASO, GNP+ and the
AIDS NGO Network in East Africa (the three organizations designated as
Communications Focal Points within the Global Fund's NGO board delegations);
plus Health & Development Networks (founder of the Break-The-Silence
listserv, which originally covered the Global Fund); and the International
HIV/AIDS Alliance. GFO is currently provided in English only. It is hoped
later to provide it in additional languages.

GFO is a free service of Aidspan (www.aidspan.org), based in New York, USA.
GFO and Aidspan have no formal connection with, and will accept no grants or
fees from, the Global Fund. Aidspan is a nonprofit organization that
promotes increased support for, and effectiveness of, the Global Fund.
