The Global Fund Will Thaw The Aid To China By The End Of August.

Yesterday, reporters after verification, "

Fund projects

The global fund official website said that in 2003, China accepted the $539 million aid from the organization, which is mainly used to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis, prevent and treat HIV infection and eliminate malaria.

Last November, the global fund stopped funding for AIDS projects.

By the middle of May this year, the Global Fund said that all funding for AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria projects will be suspended in addition to interventions such as life-saving drug supply.

In an interview with the newspaper, Hearst, a spokesman for the global fund, said that the reason for the freeze was that China did not allocate 20% of the amount of aid to community based social organizations in accordance with the agreement.

Yesterday, Global Fund propaganda department director Joan Lidon confirmed that the global fund is in progress.

In a statement to reporters, he said recently that the global fund held discussions with Chinese government officials, representatives of the National Coordinating Committee of China Global Fund Project (CCM), and representatives of some multilateral agencies.

"All sides agreed to resume aid to China to ensure that China's AIDS program is unhindered.

China is also making efforts to ensure greater participation of social organizations. "

The use of anti AI funds still needs to be reported.

The China National Center for Disease Control and the National Coordinating Committee of China's Global Fund (CCM) yesterday confirmed that funds will be thawed in August 31st, including three items of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

But this thaw does not mean that funds can be used immediately.

Last November, the global fund frozen $283 million in aid for AIDS. The CCM said the anti AI fund was frozen last year, so this year's use plan has not yet come out.

Reporters also learned that the plan of use made by all parties should be reported to the Global Fund headquarters for approval. "This will take time, maybe half a month or two months, depending on the efficiency of all parties."

A person in charge of the NGO group who participated in the global fund thaw talks many times said.

In addition, the Global Fund's total assistance to China may also be reduced.

Webb, senior official of the Global Fund Secretariat, said in July, "the reduction rate of the 3 projects is different, but the average cut rate should be 50% or more." CCM's official meeting minutes showed that
