On results reporting and evidentiary standards: spotlight on the Global Fund

Since its inception in 2002, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) has disbursed more than US$39 billion across 120 countries. Funding provided by donors, mainly the USA, France, the UK, Germany, and Japan, has undoubtedly affected the lives of millions of people. As the Global Fund approaches its Sixth Replenishment Conference—to be held in France in October, 2019—the recently published results report1 appears to make a compelling case for further investment.
