Getting the Funding One Way or Another
May 8th, 2009 | Posted by Jonathan ShradarWith the passing of the 2009 Supplemental Appropriations, Friends of the Global Fight is praising Congress for the addition of some $100 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This is great news for anti malaria efforts as the Global Fund plays such a critical role in defeating disease around the world.
According to Friends, the funds will save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and we join them in applauding Congress for the move.
As the 2010 budget is considered by Congress, malaria programs are well accounted for but we must remain vocal over support for the Global Fund.
“With this budget we are pleased the White House has reaffirmed it’s commitment to fighting malaria,” said Wendy Taylor, Senior Vice President of Global Advocacy at the Malaria Policy Center. “We remain concerned that the Global Fund, which does critical work to end disease, is not fully supported and will work with Congress and the Administration to ensure that all of our efforts are fully equipped to take on the challenges of our day.”
