The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has published Issue 33 of its newsletter, the “Global Fund News Flash.” The issue highlights the death of Nelson Mandela, examines the Global Fund’s Fourth Replenishment conference held in Washington, D.C., last week, which saw pledges of “$12 billion for the next three years, the largest amount ever committed in this mission,” and notes, “During the replenishment launch, several African countries that implement grants from the Global Fund also pledged to contribute funds as well, as a way to share responsibility and to signal global commitment” (12/6).
