The report outlines why the mobilisation potential of blending has been oversold through the Billions to Trillions agenda by a factor of ten, and how continued blending evangelism is unhelpful in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our two briefs, The LAM Test: Ensuring Scaled-Up, Expanded TB LAM Testing for People Living With Advanced HIV for Country Programs and The LAM Test: Ensuring Scaled-Up, Expanded TB LAM Testing for People Living With Advanced HIV for Donors, offer scientific evidence of the benefits of TB LAM testing, share an analysis of PEPFAR and Global Fund grants for the inclusion of TB LAM testing, and outline potential steps that countries and donors can take to make sure national TB programs can easily access this life-saving test.

New data from the World malaria report 2018 shows that progress in the global malaria response has levelled off and, in some countries, the disease is on the rise. To get the response back on track, the WHO Director-General has called for an aggressive new approach that will jumpstart progress against malaria. “High burden to high impact” is a country-led approach that will be supported by WHO, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria and other partners.

Les dernières données du Rapport sur le paludisme dans le monde 2018 montrent que la lutte contre cette maladie n’a pas réussi à progresser à l’échelle mondiale, et qu’elle a même perdu du terrain dans certains pays. Le Directeur général de l’OMS a appelé à une nouvelle approche énergique pour accélérer les progrès et remettre la lutte contre le paludisme sur les rails. L’approche « D’une charge élevée à un fort impact » est une riposte dirigée par les pays et appuyée par l’OMS, le Partenariat RBM pour en finir avec le paludisme et d’autres partenaires.

New research conducted by Aidsfonds, Frontline AIDS, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda and Ukraine reveals opportunities but also major areas of concern as countries move towards UHC, while at the same time transitioning from international to domestic funding for HIV programmes.

This research shows that by pushing for active and meaningful involvement in UHC at a country level, civil society can bring the learnings of the past four decades of responding to HIV to help shape a vision for a rights-based, person-centred UHC that, if implemented, leaves no one behind.

In October 2018, a consortium of 11 global health institutions formally launched a new initiative with the release of Towards a Global Action Plan for Healthy Lives and Well-being for All: Uniting to Accelerate Progress towards the Health-Related SDGs. Led by the World Health Organization (WHO), the institutions are responding to a request from the governments of Germany, Ghana and Norway. The Global Action Plan (GAP) framework discussed in the document was drafted solely by the institutions themselves, without the participation of civil society or other sectors. Civil Society Engagement Mechanism for UHC2030 (CSEM) and the Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN) organized the December 2018 two-day strategy session to consider how, where, when
and with whom civil society engagement in the GAP – also referred to by some as the SDG3 Action Plan – can and should be undertaken.
