ARV funding sources

Most of the ARV procurement in 2004 was undertaken through UNICEF Procurement Services (only one per cent of ARVs were bought with UNICEF funds). The largest customers were the Elisabeth Glazer Paediatric AIDS foundation ($5.2 million), followed by the UN Development Programme ($4.2 million), acting in several countries as the principal recipient of a Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) grant, and Columbia University ($0.9 million). More opportunities are available from funding mechanisms such as GFATM.
