Video: Recap of the 26th Board Meeting by the Board Chair

Global Fund Board Chair Simon Bland recaps the 26th Board Meeting in Geneva by saying “[continued from video]…This is a really exciting moment for the Global Fund.

This strategy is going to dictate the way we do business. We’re going to have new models of implementation at the country level, and we have enough funds now to really get cracking with the development of those new models.
