“On balance, of all the procurement models that exist, GDF is the best…” GDF External Evaluation, Interim Report 2003 “GDF has a proven track record of impact…” GDF External Evaluation, Final Report 2003 “The success of the GDF has been widely credited to the team’s dynamism, innovation, “can-do” spirit, and strong and technically competent leadership.” GDF External Evaluation, Final Report 2003 And what do our countries think? “…GDF has provided Myanmar with a sense of security on drugs, given the TB programme
more stability and a push for DOTS expansion…” Director, International Health, Ministry of Health, Myanmar “…the GDF was the first really big event that forced us all to sit down and think about
what we do…” Philippines “…GDF’s coming is a blessing… there was no money for drugs… it will be easier for us to
expand DOTS and scale up more rapidly because the drugs are there…” Uganda GDF has “a clear focus and mandate, good prices, and less risk of corruption, and Stop TB/
WHO links…” Uganda “…having the GDF is great for the NTP manager to get the government to do what it
would not do otherwise…” Kenya “…after GDF brought up price and quality issues of anti-TB drugs, the government of
Indonesia is now asking local manufacturers for bio-availability data and justification of a
US$ 30 per treatment price…” Indonesia Why support the GDF?
