Notes
1. Multiple African government agencies such as national HIV/AIDS councils and presidents have used the rhetoric of a war on or against HIV/AIDS. Kenya has been the most overt with a Total War Against HIV/AIDS project, financed by the World Bank. In addition, the rhetoric of war, battle and fight is often used by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
2. Of the 60 Global Fund projects in Africa (which also includes Palestine, Jordan, Iraq and Syria in the grouping of North Africa and the Middle East), 40 are managed by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. The rest are managed by KPMG, Swiss TPH and UNOPS. For a full list of Local Fund Agents, please see http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/lfa/.
