International News Global Fund Returns Funding to MyanmarNovember 23, 2009 The Irrawaddy reports that the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria round nine grants include more than $110 million for the three diseases in Myanmar. In 2005, the Global Fund withdrew from the country saying "the military regime had placed prohibitive restrictions on the implementation of its aid," according to The Irrawaddy. Since 2006 the Three Diseases Fund "has pledged $120 million" to work in Myanmar over a five year period (Weng, 11/19). A statement from the Three Diseases Fund, which received money from Australia, the European Commission, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom, says it is "looking forward to ensuring" that its work and that of the Global Fund "will be complementary to each other" (11/16).
