Global Fund - a view from an NGO's perspective (2)
--------------------------------------------------
The need for the fund to recognize broaden development perspective
cannot be over-emphasized. Country Coordination Mechanisms (CCMs) are
completely taken over by public sector partners and it is suspected
that in many CCMs, private sector participation is merely for con-
tracting and supplies purposes and NGOs as alternate implemeters of
Government programs. Projects hardly recognize the fragility of Afri-
can health and development systems and of course the voices of Afri-
can NGOs and its people. The CCMs are indeed far away from these pri-
mary beneficiaries.
Listening governments and partners are required if the known benefits
for all the target diseases of the Fund are to be delivered to the
intended beneficiaries.
