Abstract
Department of State obligated $260.5M to THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA (THE GLOBAL FUND), for work in CHE. LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ACTING THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA (“GLOBAL FUND”) TO FUND THE PURCHASE OF CERTAIN PRODUCTS AVAILABLE ON WAMBO.ORG TO SUPPORT HIV AND MA
Why this matters
State Department contributions to the Global Fund are one of the two principal U.S. channels for global HIV, TB, and malaria financing (alongside PEPFAR bilateral programs), and letter-agreement obligations to Wambo.org fund the commodity procurement backbone of country programs. Tracking these obligations separately clarifies how much U.S. foreign-assistance money flows through Geneva-based multilateral procurement versus direct bilateral implementers.
