The Global Fund Replenishment Meeting September 26-28
Despite civil society efforts, donors only pledged $9.7 billion yesterday to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria at a fund-raising conference in Berlin. This was an increase over previous donations, but well short of the $15 billion to $18 billion the fund had hoped to raise.
