The Global Fund was created by the United Nations as a unique global public-private partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities, for attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. In certain countries however, CCMs exist and function like unnecessary octopus. In Nigeria, with a population of about 130 million persons, 250 ethnic/linguistic groups, 36 States (and Abuja) and 6 geopolitical regions, information on the Nigerian CCM, its activities, and its members that ‘represent’ the various constituencies involved in fighting these diseases is hardly readily available. How regularly have these representatives briefed their constituencies on their assignments, in both formal and informal settings? To continue to hold out hope to the millions infected and affected by the three diseases, and remain the broad partnership it was/is meant to be, the Global Fund and the country coordinating mechanism must truly employ sincere, transparent, proactive and people-oriented. A curious observation thoughis that more than 80% of the very ambitious objectives of Nigeria's CCM are projected for realization by year 2007, without any immediate and/or short-term components objectives.
