The Global Fund reported that United Kingdom International Development Secretary, Andrew Mitchell, told a parliamentary hearing that “the speed and effectiveness of reforms underway at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria are on target.” Mr. Mitchell told a select committee for international development on Tuesday that he “thought the new leadership at the Global Fund warranted renewed confidence, and he singled out the Global Fund’s new General Manager, Gabriel Jaramillo, for bringing in improved management and financial supervision.”  Mr. Mitchell told the hearing that the UK was already committed to giving the Global Fund 128 million pounds (204 million US dollars) “this year, next year and the year after,” and that the UK could significantly increase its annual contribution from 2013 to 2015 if reforms currently underway are successful.
