“When I joined the Global Fund, I avidly read back issues of the GFO to get me up to speed on what is an incredibly complex organisation. I have always found the GFO clear, honest, and saying the things that many of the staff in the Fund wish we had the space (or courage) to say.”
– Ade Fakoya, Senior Specialist HIV, Global Fund
"Global Fund Observer is lucid, intelligent and definitive. It makes a huge contribution to everyone's understanding of the processes and realities of the Global Fund."
– Stephen Lewis, former Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa of the UN Secretary-General
"Congratulations for your work on watchdogging, it will help all of us to deliver good results in Global Fund implementation of proposals."
