Global Fund : the degenerating masquerade
On October 11 and 12 2001 will be held in Brussels the first meeting of the
interim board of the Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria,
which was called to by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the
African Heads of States Summit on AIDS in April 2001.
Six months after the initital announcement, there are more reasons than eve=
r
to be worried by this initiative.
At present, contribution pledged are estimated to about 1.5 billion USD to
fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This constitutes a staggering tenfold
miss of the 10 billions USD mark which was set by the United Nations in
April in order to fight AIDS alone.
Before the end of this year, the 38 members of the board will have to settl=
e
several issues :
Prioritization of funding between the three diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis,
malaria)
The most-developed countries want the Fund to avoid the most difficult, and
therefore expensive, disease to fight : AIDS. At the same time, some
countries such as Japan feel the Fund should broaden its goal and aim to
tackle health in poor countries in general (why not go even further : why
not spend the 1.5 billion USD just on eradicating world poverty ?)
Prioritization of funding between =B3 treatment =B2 and =B3 prevention only =B2
The most-developed countries want the Fund to concentrate on the least
difficult, least expensive intervention : prevention - at the expense of
treatment interventions, and especially treatment of people living with
HIV/AIDS.
Eligibity of specific drugs and drug classes for financing by the Global
Fund
The most-developed countries wish to exclude from the list of drugs
financeable by the Fund recent anti-infectives, under patent from
pharmaceutical corporations which market them at very high prices, at the
same time that more and more affordable generic versions are coming on-line=
.
Moreover, most of the interim board members who in fine will make those
decisions have no expertise whatsoever in poor country health care systems,
and suffer from exceedingly caricatural representations about third world
realities. They are for instance unaware of the many successes won by more
than a few community initiatives in providing comprehensive care to people
with aids.
Each day, 10,000 people without access to treatment die of aids. Yet, and i=
n
spite of worldwide mobilization, most rich countries still refuse to provid=
e
financial support for comprehensive care for people with aids in poor
countries. Pledges to the Global Fund remain orders of magnitude below
minimum commitment levels set by the United Nations ; at the same time, the
original objectives of the Fund are being deliberately diluted and the
long-disproven myth of prevention being effective in the absence of
treatment is once again bandied about.
In this context, there can be only one conclusion : this =8CGlobal Fund=B9
initiative is nothing but a diversion manoeuver.
The Fund serves to distract world opinions from the issue of access to
generic medicines for poor countries, as well as the debate about WTO
agreements on patents and their relation to current global health crises.
The Fund serves to buy rich countries a cheap PR stunt showing them as
seriously mobilized, while pledged amounts remain ridiculously low. The war
against terror receives 30 times more than the war against AIDS, which take=
s
10,000 lives each and every day.
The Fund serves to hide a massive withdrawal of North/South development aid
and assistance, behind shiny international initiative announcements void of
any susbtance beyond their high PR value.
That is why civil society must mobilize, and signify to the members of the
Fund=B9s interim board the imperious necessity of financing comprehensive car=
e
programmes for people with aids living in impoverished countries, now and o=
n
a massive scale.

ng masquerade<BR>
<BR>
</H2>On October 11 and 12 2001 will be held in Brussels the first meeting o=
f the interim board of the Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malari=
a, which was called to by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the=
African Heads of States Summit on AIDS in April 2001.<BR>
<B>Six months after the initital announcement, there are more reasons than =
ever to be worried by this initiative.<BR>
<BR>
</B>At present, contribution pledged are estimated to about 1.5 billion USD=
to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This constitutes a staggering tenf=
old miss of the 10 billions USD mark which was set by the United Nations in =
April in order to fight AIDS alone.<BR>
<BR>
Before the end of this year, the 38 members of the board will have to settl=
e several issues :<BR>
<B>Prioritization of funding between the three diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis=
, malaria)<BR>
</B>The most-developed countries want the Fund to avoid the most difficult,=
and therefore expensive, disease to fight : AIDS. At the same time, some co=
untries such as Japan feel the Fund should broaden its goal and aim to tackl=
e health in poor countries in general (why not go even further : why not spe=
nd the 1.5 billion USD just on eradicating world poverty ?)<BR>
<B>Prioritization of funding between =B3 treatment =B2 and =B3 prevention only =B2<=
BR>
</B>The most-developed countries want the Fund to concentrate on the least =
difficult, least expensive intervention : prevention - at the expense of tre=
atment interventions, and especially treatment of people living with HIV/AID=
S.<BR>
<B>Eligibity of specific drugs and drug classes for financing by the Global=
Fund<BR>
</B>The most-developed countries wish to exclude from the list of drugs fin=
anceable by the Fund recent anti-infectives, under patent from pharmaceutica=
l corporations which market them at very high prices, at the same time that =
more and more affordable generic versions are coming on-line.<BR>
<BR>
Moreover, most of the interim board members who <I>in fine</I> will make th=
ose decisions have no expertise whatsoever in poor country health care syste=
ms, and suffer from exceedingly caricatural representations about third worl=
d realities. They are for instance unaware of the many successes won by more=
than a few community initiatives in providing comprehensive care to people =
with aids.<BR>
<BR>
Each day, 10,000 people without access to treatment die of aids. Yet, and i=
n spite of worldwide mobilization, most rich countries still refuse to provi=
de financial support for comprehensive care for people with aids in poor cou=
ntries. Pledges to the Global Fund remain orders of magnitude below minimum =
commitment levels set by the United Nations ; at the same time, the original=
objectives of the Fund are being deliberately diluted and the long-disprove=
n myth of prevention being effective in the absence of treatment is once aga=
in bandied about.<BR>
<BR>
<B>In this context, there can be only one conclusion : this =8CGlobal Fund=B9 i=
nitiative is nothing but a diversion manoeuver.<BR>
<BR>
The Fund serves to distract world opinions from the issue of access to gene=
ric medicines for poor countries, as well as the debate about WTO agreements=
on patents and their relation to current global health crises.<BR>
<BR>
The Fund serves to buy rich countries a cheap PR stunt showing them as seri=
ously mobilized, while pledged amounts remain ridiculously low. The war agai=
nst terror receives 30 times more than the war against AIDS, which takes 10,=
000 lives each and every day.<BR>
<BR>
The Fund serves to hide a massive withdrawal of North/South development aid=
and assistance, behind shiny international initiative announcements void of=
any susbtance beyond their high PR value.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
That is why civil society must mobilize, and signify to the members of the =
Fund=B9s interim board the imperious necessity of financing comprehensive care=
programmes for people with aids living in impoverished countries, now and o=
n a massive scale.<BR>
