ANALYSIS

The Global Fund scores 70.6%, placing it in the good category. It performs well on the provision of activity documents and financial and performance data on activities. It performs less well on publishing organisation financial information, scoring less than 30% of the total possible points in this sub-group of indicators. The Global Fund receives the maximum possible score for 10 of the 39 indicators included in the Index. It receives higher scores than any other multilateral on the objectives, MoU and evaluations indicators but is the only multilateral to not score on the country strategy indicator. Of the 22 indicators that take format into account, over three quarters are published in machine-readable formats. However the Global Fund’s IATI publication does not include information on sector, collaboration type, total budget and disaggregated budgets.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• The Global Fund should continue to lead on aid transparency by ensuring that its IATI data is comprehensive and uses all fields.
• In order to further improve the quality of its IATI data, the Global Fund should encourage its wider use and begin automatic data exchange with its delivery partners, via the IATI format.
• It should consider updating its implementation schedule to reflect the current status of its publication and include more commitments to implement IATI fully.
