Global Fund Injects $32M Into Botswana HIV/AIDS Fight

Botswana, through the African Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Partnership (ACHAP) has been allocated USD$ 32, 172, 960 million for a three year period (2016 to 2018). Such an amount has always triggered a scramble from the hopeless civil societies who have been fighting for survival as donors dried up after Botswana was classified a middle-income economy. From the USD$ 32, 172, 960 million has been set aside for malaria programme while the 27, 043,807million is to cover combined TB/HIV effort.

Speaking during the grant signing ceremony this week the minister of Health Dorcas Makgatho challenged the recipients of the grant to focus more on delivery to attain epidemic control of Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
