Of course, anything "global" and "aid to governments" is fraught with potential scandalous disasters.
I think that a big reason this "Red" products movement has gotten so much significant support is because of the commitment to monitor and support only those spending efforts that prove to be successful (see sentence I bolded below.)

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was established in 2002, with the support of the world's leaders and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world's most devastating diseases, and to direct those resources to areas of greatest need by supporting locally-driven strategies. To date, the Global Fund has committed US$5.2 billion to more than 363 programs in 131 countries.
The Global Fund is an innovative partnership of governments, non-profit organizations, and the private sector, working together to rid the world of AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria. Its sole purpose is to raise funds and make grants to countries, organizations and communities that urgently need financial help to allow them to respond to these epidemics. The Global Fund continues to fund grants dependent upon proven results and targets achieved. |
