"At the Global Fund [to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria], we launched a new funding model this week that is built to capitalize on open interaction and information flow," Global Fund Executive Director Mark Dybul writes in the Huffington Post's "The Big Push" blog, adding, "With more open dialogue between cooperative partners, we can more effectively confront and ultimately defeat these terrible diseases." He states, "The cornerstone of our new approach is continuous communication," and it "also provides countries that implement grants with more flexibility around when they apply for funds, as well as more predictability on the level of funding that will be available." He continues, "We are focused on helping accelerate current programs that are already highly effective, and can translate funding into human impact."
