The Zambia National AIDS Network (ZNAN) has since January 2010 to June 2010 disbursed about K20.4 billion to 140 Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Community Based Organizations (CBOs), support groups of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and to private sector health facilities.
ZNAN Executive Director, Elizabeth Mataka announced the development in a Press Statement made available to ZANIS in Lusaka on Wednesday.
Mrs. Mataka said the disbursed funds were from rounds 4,7 and 8 of the Global Funds meant to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
Mrs. Mataka stated that out of the total amount disbursed, about K17.7 billion was from the Joint Financing Arrangement (JFA) while K2.6 billion was received from the bilateral donors.
She explained that her organization has also disbursed about K979 million of global fund round 7 to 29 organisations implementing TB programmes.
She added that following the signing of the Global Fund Round 8 phase 1 which she said runs from October 2009 to November 2011, ZNAN has disbursed about K9.2 billion to six Lead Agencies for further disbursement to smaller NGOs, CBOs, support groups of PLWHA and private sector organisations for implementation, prevention, care and support programmes and to strengthen the health system.

This is a lot of money, I only hope there will not be stories about misuse or is it pocketing by the people entrusted with the disbursement.

:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:(( Which organizations received this funding? Are they the same ZNAN bootlicking counterfeit ZNANONGOZ (ZNAN Organized Non Governmental Organizations). Can we do a background check of these organizations. I am sure we will find some interesting issues.
I think we need to encourage her she has done alot to Zambia in the fight against HIV, Madam, Mataka continue with your work, I like your moving style. If we had people within who think of developing you are one of them.
God Bless You and your family
I would like to state that, if all Organisations in Zambia used theatre for development in educating the community, the HIV/AIDS would definitely reduce, one thing people need to understand is that theatre for development uses three ways one; Theatre with the People, theatre by the people and theatre for the people, it gives at one time entertainment, information and education.While workshops, trainings etc. will only cater for very few people, while drama performances will cater for a big group and give information.
