The Global Fund “hailed a call by G8 Foreign Ministers for new donors to support the organization’s lifesaving work as a ringing endorsement of major reforms that are underway to strengthen the Global Fund’s management and financial oversight.” G8 Foreign Ministers meeting in Washington on April 12 also called on existing donors to meet their pledges of support and appealed to implementing countries to show leadership in taking on health challenges. The statement noted: “The G8 supports the call for an AIDS-free generation and efforts to achieve universal access to prevention, treatment, care, and support with respect to HIV/AIDS. The G8 renews and recommits to supporting the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria on the tenth anniversary of its establishment and as the Fund adopts a comprehensive reform agenda.”
