The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) safeguards the assets, investments, reputation and sustainability of the Global Fund by ensuring that it takes the right action to end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. [...] Limited initial collaboration and alignment between key national and sub-national stakeholders affected procurement planning.2 There was no clear articulation of the role of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Angola (MINSA) in this sub-national approach to ensure uninterrupted services in the two provinces. [...] Suboptimal data can limit the ability of the OIG and other stakeholders to fully assess the impact of the approach and it limits the identification and mitigation of programmatic issues that would be observed if correct data was being reported. [...] However, due to the stalled progress in the fight against the three diseases, and following the 2019 OIG Audit findings, the Global Fund moved the portfolio under the Additional Safeguards Policy (ASP) and established a sub-national approach for Global Fund investments. [...] Under the sub-national approach, the Global Fund is supporting all of the HIV, TB and malaria commodity needs for the two provinces in GC6, with 63% of the GC6 grant budget relating to health and non-health products and PSM costs.
