Global Fund Grants in Angola
27 February 2020
Global Fund grants in Angola are performing poorly, with a significant increase in both mortality and morbidity across all three diseases. This is due to a combination of multiple issues, including weak country ownership, government failure to fulfill domestic commitments, unreliable data, and ineffective management structures in the Ministry of Health.
These issues have persisted since the OIG’s last audit in 2012, with limited or no progress in addressing them, raising significant strategic questions around the role of Global Fund grants in this operating environment and the need to develop new approaches to engaging with the country. There is a critical and urgent need for the Secretariat to perform an in-depth reevaluation of the Angola portfolio, including the focus of the grants, implementation modalities, the performance framework, accountability mechanisms and grant monitoring.

It is accountable to the Board through its Audit and Ethics Committee and serves the interests of all Global Fund stakeholders. Its work conforms to the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and the Uniform Guidelines for Investigations of the Conference of International Investigators.
The Global Fund believes that every dollar counts and has zero tolerance for fraud, corruption and waste. Through its whistle-blowing channels, the Office of the Inspector General encourages all to speak out to report fraud, abuse and human rights violations that prevent Global Fund resources from reaching those who need them.
