Ten questions shaping the Global Fund’s future
The Global Fund faces a set of questions about its purpose, priorities, and partnerships.
- The Global Fund has helped save 72 million lives since 2002.
- But the institution faces significant headwinds, and disease prevention has regressed.
- 10 questions related to the institution's reach, operating model, and financing must be urgently addressed.
“ONE Data is exactly the kind of infrastructure the development sector needs. It transforms the nightmare of fragmented financing data into data that is interoperable and accessible, and can drive real change.”
Prem Ramaswami, Data Commons Product Manager, Google
“If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. ONE data enables an evidence-based approach. They turn complex issues into intelligible and digestible data sets, allowing for an informed debate and decisive action.”
Omar Ben Yedder, Group Publisher, African Business
“Our work with ONE Data brings speed and clarity to a complex debate around ODA. It makes it easier to translate research into practical tools that inform real-time policy choices.”
Davide Rasella, Head of the Global Health Impact Assessment and Evaluation Group, ICREA Research Professor, Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal)
