Donor Nations Reach Accord for Efficient Use of AIDS Funds

Date: April 26, 2004
Author: Elizabeth Becker
QUOTE: Admitting that donors often force poor countries to waste precious resources doing duplicative surveys and reports, the United Nations AIDS organization reached an accord with the United States, Britain and other nations to streamline the way they give money to countries fighting AIDS.

ABSTRACT: While most drug development for AIDS is mainly done in wealthy countries, it is the poor countries that suffer most from the disease. In the past, much of the aid wealthy countries sent to developing countries (mostly to Africa) was used inefficiently (the donor countries insisting on procedures not always meeting the needs on the ground), but a new agreement is meant to remedy this by giving the receipient nations more control over the money they receive.
