GCNH Slams Global Fund Over US$130m Grant
The Ghana Coalition of NGOs in Health (GCNH) has questioned the selection of AngloGold Ashanti by the Global Fund for HIV, Tuberculosis and malaria control, to carry out malaria programmes in Ghana.
GCNH argues that it is often CSOs that are responsible for such activities in all countries, and is therefore baffled as to why in Ghana a multinational company has been given that mandate.
The criticism comes after AngloGold received an amount of about US$130 million in 2010 to extend its malaria programme to 40 districts in the Ashanti, Western, Northern, Upper East and West, Regions.
