Malaria Advocacy and the Global Fund
Update 2006
NY-070626.001/020419VtsimSL001
Since its inception four years ago, the Global Fund has
emerged as the largest single international financier of
malaria control.
$1.2 billion over two years committed to programs in
more than 60 countries worldwide
Once fully executed, 5-year commitments will
distribute 108 million ITNs and 245 million ACTs – a
massive increase over current levels
To date, malaria programs financed by the Global Fund,
on average 18 months of age, have distributed 7 million
bed nets

The Global Fund is facing a major resource shortfall for
2006-2007. Without new additional financing, the Global
Fund will be unable to finance any new malaria grants
in these years.

While progress has been made, Global Fund resources
are not being effectively utilized in some countries.
An analysis of the first 110 grants to reach the second
grant phase has shown malaria are, on average,
performing more poorly than HIV/AIDS and TB.
Procurement bottlenecks have resulted in many month
delays in the purchase of ITNs, ACTs, and other
commodities at the heart of programs.
Malaria grants made up just 24% of approved proposals in
Round 5 in September, compared to 40% in Round 4. Few
large ACT or ITN proposals were approved.

2006 is a “make it or break it” year for the Global Fund,
with major events that will shape the size, structure and
impact of the institution for years.
• Resource Mobilization: Final Replenishment Conference
in July in Durban. Further development of innovative
financing (airline levy, debt swap). Success in fundraising
will determine the volume of new grants.
• Strategy Development: The Fund is revisiting its basic
structures and systems through the development of a 4year strategy. Major input will come from the 2nd
Partnership Forum in July in Durban.
• Performance Reviews: Many grants will come up for their
mid-term performance review this year. Countries face
losing significant malaria funding if performance does not
improve.
