Kalipso Chalkidou has spent the past two months shaping up the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria’s new health finance department.
This has meant bringing together the different teams working on aspects of health financing across the secretariat. Putting these teams under one roof is supposed to help the fund streamline and bring more coherence to its work.
“People working in the secretariat before were working together, but I think now it's an opportunity to offer a more coherent picture. … That's the hope, [and] we're now in the midst of shaping ourselves up to deliver on that,” she said.
