网友供图

四川在线11月9日报道 近日,成都网友“来来回回”在网上发帖,自曝用血浆作为兰花的肥料,该帖两天内在各大 论坛广泛流传,引起强烈反响。今(9)日,记者获悉,成都市卫生局已介入调查;成都市血液中心已查明图片标签中所标示的血浆已被配送到双流的储血站;该网 友后来发帖称用的是报废血浆,但此说法引来更多质疑。

网友自曝血浆浇兰花

11月7日,网友“来来回回”在论坛发帖,并公布了自己拍摄的一组图片,自称用血浆浇灌兰花,“看看我的肥料哈,高蛋白的营养品噢”。图片特写清晰 显示这袋150毫升的血浆来自成都市血液中心,采集于2009年10月3日,尚在保质期内。在血浆袋的标签上,献血者编号、批号等各项信息齐全。

两天内,“来来回回”的帖子被省内外各大小论坛转载,题目多为“看了这个,你还想去献血么?人血浆浇兰花”,矛头直指成都血液管理不善。跟帖的网友 纷纷质疑这袋血浆的来历,质疑献血者捐献的血液没有被认真对待,也有网友认为“来来回回”的做法太荒唐。网友的跟帖显示,“来来回回”还曾在跟帖中与网友 对骂。

成都市卫生局介入调查

今天上午,成都市血液中心新闻宣传负责人告诉记者,他们已于周末将此事上报成都市卫生局和四川省卫生厅,目前,成都市卫生局已经介入调查。该负责人 称,他们对照网上图片中的信息,查出该袋血浆已按正常渠道被配送到双流的储血站,血液中心的血浆都是电脑联网管理,每袋血浆从哪来,到了哪,每个流程都有 记录,“当然,现在也不能排除是网络恶搞”。

成都市卫生局新闻宣传负责人向记者证实,相关部门已经开始对此事进行调查。

“来来回回”发帖道歉

11月8日晚20时许,“来来回回”在中国兰花交易网站上以“道歉”为题发帖向网友道歉,称自己用的是报废血浆:“我也没有意识到反应会这么大,在这里对各位道歉。我真的不知道会有这样大的反应,希望大家原谅!”


“来来回回”的道歉贴引来更多质疑,从包装上的标签可以看出,这袋血浆应该是2014年才报废;并且,按照中华人民共和国卫生部令(第 44号)——血站管理办法,“第四十三条 血站必须严格执行国家有关报废血处理和有易感染经血液传播疾病危险行为的献血者献血后保密性弃血处理的规定”,即使报废的血浆也不应随意流入个人手中。

网帖:震惊!有人竟然用人血浇花!

【China AIDS:4846】 成都“血浆种花”

    四川省和成都市卫生部门调查"血浆种花"事件
2009年11月10日 03:49 来源:新京报 发表评论  【字体:↑大 ↓小

  前日晚,有网友发帖称,成都市血液中心采集的"普通冰冻血浆",被他(她)倒入花盆当肥料使用。该网友从医院工作的朋友那里获得血浆,据称属报 废品。成都市血液中心宣传科负责人称,查询后发现,此袋血浆被送往双流县第二人民医院储血点。目前,四川省和成都市卫生行政部门介入调查。


  "肥料"血浆1个月前刚采集

  "看看我的肥料哈,高蛋白的营养品哦。"前日晚,网友"来来回回"论坛上发帖,展示自己种花使用的肥料。帖子中图片显示,一袋浅黄色的液体,倒入花盆内的水中,充当肥料。

  包装袋标签显示,这袋液体,重150毫升,为O型RH阳性普通冰冻血浆,来自于成都市血液中心,条形码号为0230109 097529 O,采血日期为2009年10月3日,2014年10月3日失效。

  对于血浆当肥料的做法,网友纷纷跟帖质疑。"来来回回"回应称,该血浆"过期了,只有废掉",所以拿回来养花。

  发帖者称从医院朋友处获得

  "来来回回"告诉记者,他姓白,帖子确为他所发。袋里装的确是血浆,但已不能使用,是废品。

  白先生说,他有一位朋友在成都某医院工作。近日,他到医院找这位朋友时,看到一些袋装血浆。朋友称,这些血浆因为温度高报废了,"他说拿回去当肥料挺好的,我就拿走了一袋"。白先生拒绝透露具体医院名字。

成都血液中心:医院负责管理

  昨日下午,成都市血液中心宣传科一陈姓科长称,已接到相关投诉,并向成都市卫生局和四川省卫生厅汇报了情况。

  陈科长表示,查验血袋条形码后确定,该袋血浆被送往双流县第二人民医院储血点。该中心只采集和输送血液,具体使用和管理由各医院输血科(血库)负责。

  双流县第二人民医院办公室工作人员称,经询问相关部门负责人,该医院未出现此情况。


  昨日下午,成都市卫生局政策与宣传处负责人表示,已派专人调查,尚无结果。(记者段修健)

  - 释疑

  1 采集1个月就报废?

  医院条件差易致血液报废

  根据血袋上的标签,血浆采集于今年10月3日13时44分,到2014年10月3日才失效。为何采集完1个月后,就因"报废"而被用作肥料?

  发帖者白先生解释,按照规定,血浆需在零下20度以下冰冻保存,只有大医院才有这样的冷冻条件,小医院只能用冰箱保存,很多血浆很快便不能使用。

  成都市血液中心工作人员证实,血浆保存对温度等有严格要求,偏远不发达地区的医院,储血条件简陋,容易导致血液报废。

  另外,这些医院临床使用血液时,也可能在溶血等环节出现问题,导致血浆报废。

  2 "废血"随意当肥料?

  废血须由专门机构回收

  发帖者白先生称,报废的血浆,是朋友从医院血库里拿的,并非购得。

  网友担心,"废血"从医院里轻松"外流",如果被人再次卖入医疗,后果将非常危险,"上面标签和条形码齐全,谁能识别有没有报废?"

  成都市血液中心工作人员称,根据规定,血液在使用中发现问题,必须立即停用,然后由输血科(血库)集中回收,进行高压消毒和集中无害化处理。虽然各医院的操作办法可能不同,但"废血"绝对不能流入社会,不得挪作他用。

【China AIDS:4845】 《儿童权利公约》20周年特别网站,该条约92年起对中国生效。

儿童权利公约》(Convention on the Rights of the Child)是有关儿童权利的国际公约。 联合国在1989年11月20日会议上通过,1990年9月2日生效。 1990年8月29日,中国常驻联合国大使代表中华人民共和国政府签署了《儿童权利公约》,中国成为第105个签约国。1991年12月29日第七届全国 人民代表大会常务委员会决定批准中国加入《儿童权利公约》。1992年3月2日,中国常驻联合国大使向联合国递交了中国的批准书,从而使中国成为该公约的 第110个批准国。该公约于1992年4月2日对中国生效。

建议 中国艾滋病社区中:儿童工作的组织,在《儿童权利公约》通过20周年之际,开展宣传儿童权利的相关活动。

有研究条件的机构,请考虑对该公约在中国的实施情况做独立报告。

在过去的数年来,从大头娃娃,黑砖窑童工,摘棉花童工,血汗工厂童工,到三鹿奶粉,血铅孩子,还有四川地震的无辜死亡的孩子们。 我们中国人欠儿童的太多太多了。

20 years of the CRC

Poliana da Silva, 7, smiles as she embraces her brother, Gabriel, 4, outside their home in a slum area on the outskirts of the city of Olinda, in the north-eastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco.

1989-2009:

Convention brings progress on child rights, but challenges remain
By Dan Seymour

In 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child became the first legally binding international convention to affirm human rights for all children. While great progress has been made on child rights in the past 20 years, much work remains to be done. Dan Seymour, Chief of the Gender and Rights Unit of UNICEF’s Policy and Practice Division, offers his assessment.

NEW YORK, USA, 30 June 2009 – The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) represents a major milestone in the historic effort to achieve a world fit for children. As a binding treaty of international law, it codifies principles that Member States of the United Nations agreed to be universal – for all children, in all countries and cultures, at all times and without exception, simply through the fact of their being born into the human family.

The treaty has inspired changes in laws to better protect children, altered the way international organizations see their work for children, and supported an agenda to better protect children in situations of armed conflict.
Worldwide impact
In every region of the world, we find numerous examples of the CRC’s impact on law and practice. In 1990, Brazil followed ratification of the Convention with a new Statute of the Child and Adolescent based on its principles. Burkina Faso created a Children’s Parliament to review proposed legislation, in response to the principle of participation set forth by the Convention.

The CRC was the first international convention to be ratified by South Africa, leading to changes such as the prohibition of corporal punishment and development of a separate juvenile justice system. The Russian Federation also set up juvenile and family courts in response to the CRC, while Morocco established a National Institute to Monitor Children Rights.

Finland took a number of new measures for children inspired by the Convention, such as a plan for early childhood education and care, a curriculum for the comprehensive school, quality recommendations for school health care, and an action plan against poverty and social exclusion.

And Eritrea issued its Transitional Penal Code, with penalties for parents or guardians who neglect, abuse or abandon their children.
Challenges ahead
This wide acceptance of the CRC can give the misleading impression that it is neither challenging nor new. Yet the very idea that children are the holders of rights is far from universally recognized. Too many children are considered to be the property of adults, and are subjected to various forms of abuse and exploitation.

The recognition that children have a right to a say in decisions affecting them, articulated in Article 12, is not only disrespected on a regular basis; its very legitimacy is questioned by many.

Nor can we claim that we live in a world where children's best interests are the primary consideration in all decisions affecting them – as demanded by Article 3 of the Convention. In fact, the contrary is evidenced by the way the humankind allocates its resources, the limited attention it gives to ensuring the best for its children, the way it conducts its wars.
Foundation for change
Like all powerful ideas, the CRC reflects a demand for deep and profound change in the way the world treats its children.

That the world fails to respect the rights of its children – even to deny that children have rights – is clear in the alarming numbers of children who die of preventable causes, who do not attend school or attend a school that cannot offer them a decent education, who are left abandoned when their parents succumb to AIDS, or who are subjected to violence, exploitation and abuse against which they are unable to protect themselves.

We cannot claim that the Convention has achieved what needs to be achieved. Rather, it has provided all of us with an essential foundation to play our part in changing what needs to be changed.
Power of the Convention
Effecting that change requires us to use the CRC in its fullest sense, and to take advantage of its three fundamental strengths.

• First, it is a legal instrument, defining unequivocally the responsibilities of governments to children within their jurisdiction

• Second, it is a framework for the duties borne by different actors at different levels of society to respond to the rights of children, and it helps us understand the knowledge, skills, resources or authority needed to fulfil those duties

• Third, it is an ethical statement, both reflecting and building upon core human values about our commitment to collectively provide the world’s children with the best we have to give.

This 20th anniversary of the CRC reminds us, most of all, of what we have left to do. The Convention demands a revolution that places children at the heart of human development – not only because this offers a strong return on our investment (although it does) nor because the vulnerability of childhood calls upon our compassion (although it should), but rather for a more fundamental reason: because it is their right.

【China AIDS:4844】 OSI Publicaiton: Women, Harm Reduction and HIV

Publications

Women, Harm Reduction, and HIV

Key Findings from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Ukraine

Date:
October 2009
Source:
OSI
Author:
Katya Burns

Women who use drugs are more vulnerable to HIV infection than male drug users. They share injection equipment and are often "second on the needle." Engagement in sex work and low levels of condom use add to their risk of infection. At the same time, women face greater obstacles to accessing the services they need to protect their health. This report examines women's access to harm reduction, reproductive health, and HIV and AIDS services in five countries: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Ukraine.

Included in this report are the following topics:

  • Barriers to appropriate HIV testing and treatment
  • Pregnancy and obstacles to parenting
  • Domestic violence, police abuse, and lack of legal recourse
  • Health insurance and medical costs
  • Sexual risk and poor access to sexual health services
  • Gender-specific risks and barriers to harm reduction services

Apologies for cross postings

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

I have recently joined the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) as Program Officer for International Policy and am looking forward to working with you!

 

As you know, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will be held from March 1-12, 2010.  This CSW will mark the 15th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, and as far as we know, governments are planning for a one day High Level meeting at the General Assembly, as well as a number of interactive panels during the first week.

 

We would like to be as influential and coordinated as possible to best inform government positions and statements in advance of the meeting.

 

We are beginning our planning and would like to know who from your organizations  will be attending, what you are planning around Beijing +15, who is interested in developing messages with us, and how we can jointly advocate for the health and rights of women and young people at the CSW.  

 

If you are interested, IWHC would be glad to host a conference call at the start of the year to further discuss strategy. We would very much welcome your input and participation.  In the meantime, it would be great if you could give me your thoughts on what your organizations are planning and opportunities for collaboration.

 

Thanks and best wishes,

Alex

妇女地位委员会

  
妇女地位委员会 (Commission on the Status of Women) 是联合国经社理事会9个职司委员会之一,1946年6月成立。初创时有15名成员,1967年扩大到32名。其成员由联合国会员国的代表组成,代表由经社理事会按区域分配原则选举选出,其中亚洲4名、非洲8名、拉丁美洲6名、东欧4名、西欧及其他地区8名,任期4年,可连选连任。
  该机构的职责是研究妇女在经济和社会发展中的作用;在全球范围内就保障妇女在政治、经济、社会、教育和法律等方面的权利的进展情况,向经社理事会提交报告,并对在妇女权益方面需立即引起注意的事项向经社理事会提出建议;制定有关妇女地位的公约、宣言;监督重要国际文件的执行;就有关妇女问题筹备和召开会议;制定提高妇女地位的计划和预算;协调联合国系统的妇女活动等。
  该委员会在1970年以前每年召开一次会议,从1971年改两年一次;1987年经社理事会通过决议,决定从1988年起到2000年改为每年召开一次会议,以便审查和评价《到2000年提高妇女地位内罗比前瞻性战略》的执行情况。每次会议从成员国中选举主席1人、副主席3人、报告员1人。会议通过的公约、宣言、主要建议均需提交经济及社会理事会和联合国大会讨论通过。委员会闭会期间,日常事务由提高妇女地位司负责。该司原设在维也纳联合国办事处社会发展和人道主义事务中心,加利就任联合国秘书长后实行机构改革,1993年7月从维也纳迁到纽约,隶属联合国政策协调和持续发展部。
  该机构根据经济及社会理事会各职司委员会的议事规则进行工作。该机构自成立以来,开展了一系列旨在提高妇女地位,维护妇女各项权益的重要活动。1949年开始制定《妇女政治权利公约》,1952年联合国大会通过。其他具有法律约束力的文件还有:1956年的《废止奴隶制、奴隶贩卖及类似奴隶制的制度与习俗补充公约》、1956年的《国外扶养费收取公约》、1957年《已婚妇女国籍公约》和1962年的《关于婚姻的同意、结婚最低年龄及婚姻登记的公约》。此外,该机构最有成效的工作之一,就是制定《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》。该公约1976年经联合国大会通过,1981年生效。共分6个部分,30条。内容涉及各国在各个不同领域消除对妇女歧视应采取的措施。委员会进行的工作,还表现在以下几个方面:①关于联合国妇女十年;②关于妇女在发展中的作用;③关于计划生育。
  1974年,中国首次当选为联合国妇女地位委员会成员国,并派代表团出席了第25届妇地会会议。2005年3月11日,为期12天的联合国妇女地位委员会第49届会议 11日在纽约联合国总部闭幕。会议强调各国政府必须采取更多实际措施和具体行动,争取实现男女平等,促进提高妇女地位。  http://baike.baidu.com/view/262193.htm

Michel Sidibe

Executive Director, UNAIDS

Under Secretary-General of the United Nations

Avenue Appia 20

1211 Geneva, Switzerland

Dear Mr. Sidibe,

Many thanks for your letter of August 7, which was delivered to us by Mr. Bernhard Schwartlander at the ICAAP conference in August. We appreciated your prompt reply and are pleased to know that you share our concern about human rights.

Unfortunately, threats and attacks have continued against AIDS and harm reduction NGOs and advocates in Asia, and we are concerned by the continuing public silence from UNAIDS on this issue. Your speech to ICAAP, while salutary in its direct discussion of many human rights issues, did not mention the continuing issue of harassment, shutdown and detention of AIDS NGOs and advocates in Asia.

While your letter of August 7 points out that quiet diplomacy may sometimes be the most effective way to advocate with governments on behalf of NGOs, such advocacy must also be transparent and accountable to the NGO community.

Quiet diplomacy is only one tool among many; when one never issues strong public statements, quiet diplomacy risks becoming toothless and ineffective.

Countries must no longer feel free to use rhetoric about promoting civil society to placate the international community, gathering tens of millions from international donors while cracking down on AIDS NGOs. International agencies and donors must speak out, and UNAIDS is uniquely positioned to lead the way.

In the months since we last wrote to you, there have been several other instances of AIDS advocates and NGOs threatened, harassed, and placed under detention in Asia. We would appreciate the chance to discuss these cases and to offer suggestions for a global UNAIDS policy on human rights protection of AIDS activists and harm reduction NGOs. Please let us know when you might be available to speak by telephone.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

【China AIDS:4841】 黑作坊4个月产216万只粗制滥造安全套 销往各地

黑作坊4个月产216万只粗制滥造安全套 销往各地

来源:中国青年报
2009年11月09日05:12
[提要] 湖南邵阳市邵东县某作坊,漆黑的厂房里,黑色的桶装油散发出刺鼻的怪味。数名女孩子熟练地拿出裸套,抹上油,放进机器,未经消毒的安全套便"走"下生产线。这些仿冒名牌安全套制作得很"逼真",如果不拿出来仔细看,使用者很难能辨认出这是假货。一旦被人使用,危害极大。女同志使用可能会患上妇科疾病,男同志使用也同样有害…[我来说两句]
  漆黑的厂房里,黑色的桶装油散发出刺鼻的怪味,两台生产安全套的机器轰然作响。数名十几岁的女孩子紧张地忙碌着,她们熟练地拿出裸套,抹上油,放进机器,一打一打未经消毒的安全套便"走"下生产线。墙角里摆放着各大知名安全套企业的包装盒,女孩子们把"成品"往里一塞,"名牌"安全套就这样"诞生"了。

  老板也很忙,一边打电话给"上线"供货,一边还要照顾自己开设的网店,"杜蕾斯"3元一盒,生意很不错。

  这是发生在湖南邵阳市邵东县某作坊的真实一幕。4个月内,该作坊共售出300多箱(每箱360盒,每盒12只)、100多万只未经消毒、粗制滥造的仿冒名牌安全套。

  若不是执法人员及时打掉这个团伙,5万多盒包装完毕的劣质安全套或许已经销往西亚某国。

   两台设备,生产百万只"黑"安全套

  去年12月,犯罪嫌疑人李安平接到制作仿冒名牌安全套的"活儿",开始在家制假。他从东莞某地引进裸套,在没有消毒的情况下,一个人完成抹油、封口、装盒的工作。时间长了,一个人干得太辛苦,他又叫来自己的亲戚帮忙。

  后来,"上线"的订单越来越多。今年3月,李安平索性从东莞购进两台设备,然后组织工人赶制假冒安全套,再通过各种渠道销往全国各地。

  有了专门的设备,李安平作坊的"工作效率"大大提高。根据公安部门提供的资料,今年3月以来,李安平生产加工仿冒名牌安全套500件(每件360盒),共计216万只。

  在李安平等人的生产过程中,作废的安全套也能废物利用——截成几段,用手一撮,裹上毛线,就变成了 女孩子常用的发绳。产品同样销往全国各地。

  今年7月24日,接到举报后,邵阳市公安局治安支队行动大队和药监局执法大队联合出击,捣毁了这个位于邵东县新辉社区的地下窝点。现场查获大量仿冒"杰士邦"、"杜蕾斯"、"诺丝"等品牌的安全套及其他原材料、机器辅助设施等,并抓获作坊主李安平和10名涉案工人。经初步估计,现场查获的安全套及机器辅助设备价值达50万元。

  "在查封李安平作坊的时候,我感觉桶里的油好像是香油。"参与办案的谭姓警官回忆说。不过,令他印象最深的是那几名童工,"当时正赶上暑假,有几名十三四岁的女孩子干活。造假过程很简单,这些孩子一学就会"。

  目前,犯罪嫌疑人李安平已被移交检察机关,但他始终不肯交代自己的"上线"。""上线"的 名字和号码都是假的,给案件破获带来了麻烦。现在,我们正在全力缉捕"上线"。"邵阳市公安局治安支队行动大队李警官说。

  冒牌安全套流向尚未查明

  经公安机关查明,李安平的销售渠道共有3种:"上线"、"下线"以及网店。

  "李安平的"下线"有六七个人,销售量不是很大,3月以来大概卖了30箱,主要是销往广东,价钱一般为两三块钱一盒。在网上销售的数量也不是很大。"邵阳市公安局治安支队行动大队警官谭鹏说,"他主要给"上线"供货,今年3月之后,大概给"上线"提供了340箱。"

  谭警官还表示,由于李安平的下家买货数量不大,无法构成刑事犯罪,只能处以行政罚款。

  该案查处后,互联网上还出现《名牌安全套不安全,湖南回收二手套套!百万只假 名牌安全套流入市场》的帖子。该帖子表示,"刚看完湖南邵东查封安全套造假地下工厂,头一回听说安全套是回收二手用过的,简单处理一下再包装重新卖出去。"

  对此,谭鹏说:"我们在审理案件的过程中,并没有发现"回收再利用"一事。即便如此,假冒名牌安全套也给使用者带来很大危害。由于无法找到掌握销售网络的"上线",假冒安全套的流向也无法进一步查明。"

  邵阳市药监局执法大队队长刘赵云表示,此类案件继续侦破的难度很大。"在制假行业内,似乎有一个潜规则,如果不说出"上线",出来之后,还可以联系上并继续造假。这给彻底打击此类行为带来了一定的困难。"

  冒牌安全套依然在网上叫卖

  这些假冒伪劣安全套到底会对使用者造成哪些危害?

  刘赵云告诉记者:"按照规定,安全套必须在无菌的环境中生产,李安平的地下作坊没有这样的条件,生产出的产品肯定有细菌和病菌。一旦被人使用,危害极大。女同志使用可能会患上妇科疾病,男同志使用也同样有害。这种安全套质量不过关,韧度差,易破,使用绝对不安全。"

  但是,这些仿冒名牌安全套制作得很"逼真","如果不拿出来仔细看,使用者很难能辨认出这是假货。再说,这些都是知名品牌,有多少人在使用的时候会逐一检查呢?"刘赵云说,"这是到目前为止我市乃至全省最大的一起伪造计生用品的案件。"

  虽然邵东仿冒名牌安全套案件已经告破,但网上依然存在销售假冒安全套的现象。在搜索引擎上输入相关关键词,仍然能发现很多便宜的假冒安全套。比如此帖:"前段时 间开了一间性保健店,现在转行了,剩下一些安全套便宜卖了,"杰士邦"15元一盒,"第六感"10元一盒……东西绝对没问题,要的话请打电话××××,市内免费送货。"

1. NEWS: Global Fund Report Reveals Lenient Interpretation by Secretariat of CCM Requirements

 

The Global Fund Secretariat determined in Round 8 that all proposals received from CCMs were eligible for consideration by the TRP, even though some of the CCMs had not complied with at least one of the six minimum requirements that have been established by the Global Fund Board.

 

2. COMMENTARY: CCM Requirements: How Much Flexibility Is Appropriate?

 

"Some of the decisions of the Global Fund's Screening Review Panel are scandalous – or at least, they would be if it wasn't so obvious that its members are trying to do what is 'best' in a complex world. Does the Secretariat believe that the Fund's minimum requirements regarding CCMs are too stringent? If so, why doesn't the Secretariat ask the Board to soften the requirements?"

 

3. COMMENTARY: Pointless PowerPoints

 

"If I am ever granted the job of World Dictator, my first act will be to ban the use of PowerPoint."

1. NEWS: Global Fund Report Reveals Lenient Interpretation by Secretariat of CCM Requirements

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

 

In Round 8, a year ago, the Global Fund Secretariat determined that all proposals received from CCMs were eligible for consideration by the Technical Review Panel (TRP), even though some of the CCMs had not complied with at least one of the six minimum requirements that have been established by the Global Fund Board.

 

Also, the Secretariat recommended that consideration be given to changing the proposal guidelines to make "Non-CCM proposals" eligible if they address the needs of vulnerable populations that have been left out of the national response.

 

These points are revealed in a Global Fund report entitled "Report of the Round 8 Screening Panel." Copies of the undated report are available at www.theglobalfund.org/documents/ccm/Screening_Review_Panel_Report_Round_8.pdf. (A report regarding the screening process for Round 9 proposals is expected within the next few months.)

 

As explained in the report, all applications submitted in Round 8 were screened by the Global Fund Secretariat for eligibility. Only proposals deemed to be eligible were passed on to the TRP for review. The Global Fund imposes a number of eligibility criteria; they vary depending on the type of applicant. The screening had nothing to do with evaluating the quality of the proposal – that was left to the TRP; it just evaluated whether the applicants had followed certain requirements. If they had not, the TRP never saw the proposal.

 

The screening was a two-part process. First, the applications were reviewed by a Screening Team, made up of 16 people who receive special training. The Screening Team rated each application as fully compliant (FC), indeterminate compliant (IC) or non-compliant (NC). An "IC" rating meant that the members of the Screening Team had some doubts concerning whether the application met the eligibility criteria.

 

Second, a more senior Screening Review Panel (SRP), made up of staff from various parts of the Secretariat, reviewed the applications and the recommendations of the Screening Team. For those applications rated FC by the Screening Team, the SRP reviewed a small sample of the applications. If the SRP was satisfied that the Screening Team had rigorously and appropriately reviewed the sample, it then voted to accept all FC recommendations as a block. For all applications rated IC or NC by the Screening Team, the SRP examined each one individually.

 

In its deliberations, the SRP did not rely entirely on the information contained in the applications. It also sought clarifications from the applicants, from other Global Fund staff, and from the Fund's partner organisations.

 

Of the 123 applications, 96 were ultimately determined by the SRP to be eligible. The numbers break down as follows:

  • Ninety-three of the 95 applications from coordinating mechanisms were deemed eligible (all 88 applications from CCMs, three of the four applications from Sub-CCMs, and two of the three applications from RCMs).
  • Three of the eight applications from Regional Organisations (ROs) were deemed eligible.
  • None of the 20 applications from Non-CCMs were deemed eligible. (Non-CCMs are national organisations other than the CCM – usually NGOs or faith-based organisations [FBOs].)

 

These results are similar to the results of the screening process for Round 7, except that in Round 7 all applications from ROs were deemed eligible. (See GFO 92 for details on the Round 7 screening.)

 

Below, we provide more information from the "Report of the Round 8 Screening Panel" on the screening process for (a) applications from coordinating mechanisms; (b) applications from ROs; and (c) applications from Non-CCMs.

 

A. Applications from coordinating mechanisms

 

In its "Report of the Round 8 Screening Review Panel," the Global Fund provided details of the screening that was done on the 95 applications submitted by coordinating mechanisms. The Screening Team and the Screening Review Panel assessed whether applicants met a number of criteria related to (a) the composition and operations of the coordinating mechanisms and (b) the proposal development process. (These criteria are known as "the six CCM minimum requirements.")

 

In its initial review of applications from CCMs, the Screening Team rated 73 applications as fully compliant (FC) and 15 as either indeterminate compliant (IC) or non-compliant (NC). The Screening Review Panel (SRP) confirmed all 73 FC ratings and, after reviewing the 15 IC- and NC-rated applications, the SRP decided that all of them were also fully compliant.

 

With respect to the other coordinating mechanisms, the SRP found only one sub-CCM (Congo Kasai) and one RCM (Andino) to be non-compliant.

 

In the report, the Global Fund Secretariat concluded that applicants had less difficulty demonstrating compliance compared to previous rounds. The Secretariat said that

 

"Contrary to Round 7, more CCMs submitted comprehensive documentation to prove an inclusive and transparent PR selection process. Also, most CCMs easily demonstrated that new non-government representatives had been selected in a transparent manner. There was also clearer linkage between proposal solicitation and the review of submissions received."

 

The following is a summary of what the report said about the screening conducted for each of the six minimum CCM requirements.

 

Requirement No. 1 – All CCMs are required to show evidence of membership of people living with and/or affected by the diseases.

 

Most applicants were able to demonstrate compliance fairly easily. Only three – CCM Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Sub-CCM Russian Federation and Sub-CCM Congo Kasai – were rated IC or NC initially by the Screening Team in regard to this requirement. Sub-CCM Congo Kasai was then determined to be non-compliant by the SRP because it failed to provide any supporting documentation. CCM DPRK and Sub-CCM Russian Federation were determined to be fully compliant by the SRP. In the case of CCM DPRK, although the proposals from that country were signed by one person previously treated for malaria, and one person previously treated for TB, there were no representatives of people living with HIV/AIDS on the CCM. However, the SRP noted that DPRK had no official data on HIV/AIDS and concluded that the CCM had shown "sufficient effort at meeting the spirit and intent of the requirement."

 

In the case of the Sub-CCM Russian Federation, which submitted a TB proposal, it had submitted no evidence of membership of persons living with the diseases. However, after clarification, it was revealed that a person living with TB had been added to the CCM.

 

Requirement No. 2 – CCM members representing the non-government sectors must be selected by their own sector(s) based on a documented, transparent process, developed within each sector.

 

Seven applicants were initially rated IC or NC by the Screening Team with respect to this requirement – two first-time applicants to the Global Fund (Sub-CCMs from Kyrgyzstan and Russian

Federation), plus Sub-CCM Congo Kasai and CCMs from Algeria, DPRK, Bangladesh and South Africa.

 

The SRP determined all but Sub-CCM Congo Kasai to be fully compliant. Even though each of the other six applicants failed to provide the necessary documentation to demonstrate compliance, the SRP judged them to be compliant based on additional information obtained from the applicant, information provided by the regional teams in the Secretariat or special circumstances in the country in question, or a combination of the above. In several cases, the decision might have been a close call, but the SRP gave the applicant the benefit of the doubt. The SRP said that the Secretariat should work with the applicants involved to improve their selection processes.

 

Requirement No. 3 – CCMs are required to put in place and maintain a transparent, documented process to solicit and review submissions for possible integration into the proposal.

 

The SRP said:

 

"On the whole, CCMs demonstrated better understanding of this requirement [compared to previous rounds], in particular the need to link both parts of the requirement in order to be determined eligible. CCMs mostly used local newspapers and/or the internet to solicit ideas from interested stakeholders for possible incorporation into the final proposal. Furthermore, CCMs clearly documented their processes to review submissions received with many of them providing justifications for including or excluding submissions received."

 

Nevertheless, seven applicants were initially rated IC or NC by the Screening Team with respect to this requirement. Three CCM applicants (Gabon, Iran and Sri Lanka) had a clear proposal solicitation process but could not show evidence of a transparent and documented review process. The Sub-CCM Russian Federation had a documented review process but could not show evidence of an inclusive solicitation process. CCM Kazakhstan and Sub-CCMs from Kyrgyzstan and Congo Kasai had neither.

 

The SRP determined all but Sub-CCM Congo Kasai to be fully compliant. Once again, the SRP relied on clarifications from the applicant and input from the regional teams in the Global Fund Secretariat. And once again, the SRP gave several applicants the benefit of the doubt. For example, Sub-CCM Russian Federation did not publicly call for submissions. It stated that all organisations that had meaningful input to the proposal development process were already on the sub-CCM. The regional team confirmed this. But while the SRP determined Sub-CCM Russian Federation compliant with this requirement, it said that the SRP was

 

"concerned about legitimizing this trend of substituting documented open processes, with a claim that all relevant organizations had been involved in the process. The panel noted that this could, in the long run, result in proposal development processes being limited to selected organizations and institutions and thus not meeting the board's requirements on openness and accountability."

 

The SRP said that the Global Fund "needs to communicate to all applicant types, and especially those in [Eastern Europe and Central Asia] region, the need to reach beyond known or familiar networks to ensure a broad and inclusive process in meeting the requirement." The SRP added that applicants should be reminded that open transparent processes must be documented for two aspects of proposal development – i.e., for both the solicitation and the review of stakeholder inputs.

 

Requirement No. 4 – CCMs are required to put in place and maintain a transparent, documented process to nominate the Principal Recipient(s) (PR) and oversee program implementation.

 

With respect to the PR nomination process, the SRP said:

 

"In general, applicants understood the need to reach beyond current PRs and consider other potential candidates. Most applicants placed a public call soliciting 'Expressions of Interest' from interested organizations. Others linked discussions for potential PR and/or sub recipients (SRs) to the proposal solicitation and review processes, designating authors of proposal submissions as PRs or SRs. Still, others reverted to current PRs after having considered alternative options. The common denominator in all of these cases was the applicants' recognition of the need to designate PRs based on some evaluation criterion, at least an implicit one, and to ensure that the process employed was transparent and documented."

 

The SRP also said that, in general, applicants recognised the need to describe their oversight processes fully.

 

Nevertheless, 11 applicants were initially rated IC or NC by the Screening Team with respect to this requirement: CCMs from Algeria, Benin, DPRK, Gabon, Kenya, South Africa, Sri Lanka and

Yemen; and Sub-CCMs from Congo Kasai, Kyrgyzstan and Russian Federation.

 

Once again, only Sub-CCM Congo Kasai was determined to be non-compliant by the SRP. The other ten applicants were determined to be fully compliant, mainly after clarifications from the applicants and input from the regional teams in the Secretariat.

 

In at least one case (CCM Gabon), the decision was a close call. The CCM nominated the Ministry of Health as PR for its HIV proposal, but provided no documentation concerning a selection process. As well, the SRP said that the CCM's description of its oversight plan was "lacking" and that "[i]t was clear that the CCM misunderstands its oversight role and responsibility." The SRP was tempted to declare the CCM ineligible with respect to its HIV proposal, but the regional team argued that there were restructuring efforts underway in the CCM and that the Round 8 HIV proposal was very important to ongoing projects in Gabon. In the end, the SRP was unable to arrive at a consensus. The decision to find CCM Gabon eligible was based on a majority vote.

 

In its report, the SRP commented that "preselecting government PRs without due process definitely contradicts the spirit of openness and transparency" in the CCM requirements.

 

The SRP noted that most CCMs were quite willing to implement dual-track financing (DTF), and that "DTF discouraged many applicants from simply reverting to current PRs, as has been normal practice in the past, since they were being requested to solicit for expressions of interest from potential civil society PR candidates."

 

Requirement no. 5 – CCMs are required to put in place and maintain a transparent, documented process to ensure the input of a broad range of stakeholders, including CCM members and non-members, in the proposal development and grant oversight process.

 

Initially, eight applicants – CCMs in Algeria, Gabon, Iran, South Africa and Sri Lanka; sub-CCMs in Congo Kasai and Kyrgyzstan; and the SADS RCM – were rated NC or IC by the Screening Team.

 

Once again, the SRP determined Sub-CCM Congo Kasai to be non-compliant and the others to be fully compliant. As was the case with Requirement No. 4, the SRP was split concerning CCM Gabon, and finally determined the CCM to be eligible based upon a majority vote.

 

The SRP pointed out that applicants often revert to documentation submitted for Requirements No. 3 and No. 4 to prove compliance with Requirement No. 5 since all three requirements are seemingly linked.

 

Requirement No. 6 – When the PRs and Chair or Vice-Chair of the CCM are the same entity, the CCM must have a written plan in place to mitigate the inherent conflict of interest.

 

Most applicants had no problems demonstrating compliance with this requirement. All were determined to be fully compliant by the SRP. However, in one case – CCM China – the decision was not automatic.

 

CCM China nominated the State Council AIDS Working Committee Office within the Ministry of Health as PR. The chair of the CCM comes from the Ministry of Health. The CCM said it did not recognise the need for a COI policy, insisting that the two entities (the Committee and the Ministry) were different. The regional team explained the close links between all entities and the government in China. The SRP considered having someone go back to the CCM to clarify the relationship between the two institutions. According to the report, "After much deliberation, the SRP agreed to screen CCM China in as compliant on condition that the regional team works with the CCM to write a COI plan."

 

Further note concerning Sub-CCMs

 

Current guidelines allow a Sub-CCM to be deemed eligible to apply as long as it can provide any of the following documentation in support of its independent operations: (a) statutes or other legal

documents confirming the independent authority of the sub-CCM; (b) international agreements or conventions that recognise the independent nature of the Sub-CCM's territory; and (c) proof of the CCM's acceptance of the sub-CCM's independence. The SRP recommended that the guidelines be revised to ensure that Sub-CCMs and their respective CCMs justify the programmatic need for the sub-CCM as a complement to the national CCM. The SRP said this would prevent "the creation of multiple coordinating mechanisms in any single country and promote the coordination of

proposals at a national level."

 

RCM Andino

 

RCM Andino, which covers certain countries in South America, was deemed ineligible, not because it failed to meet any of the requirements outlined above, but rather because it failed to obtain endorsements of its proposal from all of the national CCMs in its region.

 

B. Applications from regional organisations

 

Eight Regional Organisations (ROs) applied in Round 8, all for HIV/AIDS proposals. The SRP determined that only three ROs were eligible because the others had failed to submit endorsements from national CCMs in all of the countries included in their proposals.

 

The SRP commented as follows:

 

"Regional Organizations are a potential force in the effort to mobilize demand to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. Being cross border and multi-country in nature, these proposals could complement national programs and help prioritize activities otherwise excluded or ignored due to in-country politics, negative attitudes and/or ongoing stigma and discrimination. Unfortunately, very few of these proposals [reach the TRP] due to ROs inability to secure CCM endorsements."

 

C. Applications from Non-CCMs

 

In its "Report of the Round 8 Screening Review Panel," the Global Fund provided details of the screening that was done on the 20 applications submitted by Non-CCMs. The Global Fund actively discourages applications from Non-CCMs. It only accepts Non-CCMs proposals if they are from countries:

  • that are without legitimate governments;
  • that are in conflict, facing natural disasters, or in complex emergency situations; or
  • that suppress or have not established partnerships with civil society and non-governmental organisations.

 

If a Non-CCM submits an application on the basis that its country suppresses or has not established partnerships, it has to demonstrate that it contacted the CCM in an attempt to get its suggestions included in a national proposal.

 

At 20, the number of applications from Non-CCMs in Round 8 was up from the 16 applications in Round 7, but was still considerably lower than in earlier rounds. Non-CCM proposals were received from applicants in 13 countries, almost twice the number of countries for Round 7.

 

The SRP deemed all 20 applicants ineligible. It said that none of them met the criteria; that all 13 countries has functioning CCMs with civil society representation; and that none of the applicants proved that they had contacted their respective CCMs. The SRP said that 19 of the 20 applicants did not even explain why they had applied outside their CCM.

 

Despite the fact that no Non-CCM proposals were deemed eligible, the SRP said that "the non-CCM window remains an opportunity for groups marginalized as a result of stigma and discrimination in government policies." The SRP recommended that proposals from Non-CCMs be examined more closely and that consideration be given to changing the proposal guidelines to make Non-CCM proposals eligible if they are addressing the needs of vulnerable populations that have been left out of the national response. The SRP also recommended that the Secretariat develop a fact sheet providing more guidance for Non-CCMs and to "increase their chances at meeting compliance."

 

Editor's note: Most of the information for this article came from the "Report of the Round 8 Screening Panel." Supplementary information was obtained from the Global Fund Secretariat. The following article is a Commentary on this whole process.

2. COMMENTARY: CCM Requirements: How Much Flexibility Is Appropriate?

by David Garmaise

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

 

Some of the decisions of the Global Fund's Screening Review Panel (see previous article) are scandalous – or at least, they would be if it wasn't so obvious that its members are trying to do what is "best" in a complex world.

 

In July 2008, I wrote a commentary in GFO in which I said that in Round 7, three years after the "CCM minimum requirements" were adopted by the Board, the Global Fund Secretariat continued to exercise a considerable amount of discretion in applying these requirements to the screening process for proposals.

 

Since then, nothing much has changed. In Round 8, virtually all of the applications from CCMs, Sub-CCMs and RCMs were "screened in" (i.e., were deemed eligible for consideration by the TRP). Yet, as happened with Round 7, it is also clear that this was done even though many CCMs were still not meeting the minimum requirements. Further, in Round 8, for the first time, the Screening Review Panel (SRP) was unable to reach a consensus in a small number of cases.

 

Consider two examples of decisions made by the SRP with respect to the requirement that the representatives of non-government sectors on the CCM must be selected through a documented and transparent process run by the sectors themselves.

 

First, for CCM Algeria, the report tells us that:

  • The CCM did not provide required documentation regarding the selection processes.
  • The CCM had been reconstituted by the Minister of Health in 2006 as a result of corruption allegations regarding the previous CCM.
  • The Minister appointed all 48 CCM members directly, including civil society representatives, and "ensured that all interested NGO stakeholders were represented."

 

According to the report, the SRP nevertheless decided that CCM Algeria was "fully compliant." It did so based on the following: (a) regional teams in the Global Fund Secretariat said that while Algeria had previously received funding (in Round 3) from the Global Fund, the CCM was still "new" to the Global Fund's requirements; and (b) the list of CCM members attached to the proposal included a number of the NGOs that are most active in the fight against the diseases.

 

How can it be said that CCM Algeria was compliant? There was no "open and transparent" sector-led selection process of CCM members, as is required. It's not enough for someone to determine that people appointed by the Minister to the CCM include "all interested NGO stakeholders."

 

Second, for CCM Bangladesh, the report tells us that four of the six new civil society representatives who had joined the CCM since it was last determined eligible in Round 7 were personally picked by the CCM. There was no selection process run by the sector. According to the report, the SRP determined that CCM Bangladesh was fully compliant because (a) the majority of its non-governmental representatives were on the CCM at time of the Round 7 screening when the CCM was determined to be fully compliant with this requirement; and (b) to be compliant with this requirement, it is sufficient if 50 percent or more of the sector's representatives were transparently selected by the sector.

 

This is exercising discretion to the point of bending over backwards. In Round 7, the SRP came up with the 50 percent rule, even though there is nothing in the requirement itself that states that the CCM needs to be only 50 percent compliant. For Round 8, the Global Fund said that CCMs that had met certain requirements in Round 7 would not have to meet them again in Round 8, which is fair. But the Global Fund also said that any new non-governmental representatives added since the Round 7 submission had to be selected in an open and transparent process run by the sectors themselves. That did not happen here.

 

Consider also one example of decisions made by the SRP with respect to the requirement that CCMs put in place and maintain a transparent, documented process to nominate the PR(s) and oversee program implementation.

 

For CCM Gabon, the report says that the CCM simply nominated the Ministry of Health as PR for its HIV/AIDS proposal because of its track record as PR on other grants. There was no process. There was no evidence that the CCM had evaluated the MOH's performance "in comparison with other options or likely PR candidates." The report also says that CCM Gabon's description of its program oversight plan was lacking.

 

The rest of what the report has to say about this case reads like a debate:

  • "The SRP was faced with the dilemma of whether to declare the CCM as ineligible and thereby reject both proposals (it also applied for malaria) or only accept one based on the adequacy of documentation submitted."
  • "This sparked an appeal from the regional team which noted all the ongoing restructuring efforts within the CCM as well as the importance of the Round 8 HIV/AIDS proposal to ongoing projects in Gabon."
  • "The SRP reminded the regional team of the equal weight for each of the six minimum requirements."

 

In the final analysis, the SRP could not reach consensus, so CCM Gabon was declared compliant on the basis of a majority vote.

 

Clearly, however, the requirement was not met.

 

Finally, the SRP screens proposals against each of the CCM minimum requirements, one by one, but it does not appear to take into account any "cumulative effect." Sub-CCM Russian Federation was given the benefit of the doubt for no less than four of the six requirements. If a CCM or Sub-CCM squeaks through on four of six requirements, doesn't that raise questions about whether that applicant is fully compliant overall? The following applicants were also given the benefit of the doubt for multiple requirements: Sub-CCM Kyrgyzstan (also four requirements); and CCMs from Gabon, Algeria, Sri Lanka and South Africa (three requirements each).

 

Does the Secretariat believe that the minimum requirements are too stringent, even though CCMs have by now had several years to become compliant? If the answer is Yes, why doesn't the Secretariat ask the Board to consider softening the requirements, and why doesn't it inform all CCMs that until the Board makes a decision, it will not enforce the requirements strictly? Whereas, if the answer is No, why does the Secretariat treat some non-compliant CCMs as if they were compliant, and why doesn't the Board complain about this? If the requirements are considered to be too stringent, they should be changed, not ignored.

3. COMMENTARY: Pointless PowerPoints

by Bernard Rivers

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

 

As you read this article, thousands of people around the world – possibly millions – are sitting in meetings where speakers are projecting PowerPoint slides onto a screen. The speakers assume that these PowerPoint slides are helping the audience. But, with rare exceptions, they are wrong.

 

If I am ever granted the job of World Dictator, my first act will be to ban the use of PowerPoint.

 

Why? Because PowerPoint slides usually have far too many words on them, as a result of which, they distract the audience from what the speaker is actually saying.

 

I recently went to a conference where there were presentations by, among others, a senior official from the World Bank and another from the European Commission. Each of these two people spoke to a series of excessively verbose slides. I spent one third of my time trying to read what the slides said (but being distracted by the speaker), one third of my time trying to listen to what the speaker said (but being distracted by the slides), and one third of my time feeling really grumpy. Furthermore, if a slide dealt, at length, with points A, B, C and D, the speaker often spoke to only one of these, or to some point E that didn't even feature. What, please, was the point of these slides? I felt lost and – did I mention? – grumpy.

 

Here are some tips, from a frequent PowerPoint victim. If you are giving a talk and you want to provide your audience with a detailed record of your talk – OK, go ahead, create detailed slides. But then print them, and make the printout available at the end of your talk. During the talk itself, either use no slides at all – leading to the wonderful result that your audience will actually look at you and listen to you – or create some extremely simple slides with four or five bullets on each slide, with each bullet consisting of only four or five words. If possible, arrange your slides so that each new bullet only appears on the screen when you're ready for it, so your audience sees a brief summary of what you have said and of what you are talking about right now, but not of what you will say during the next few minutes.

 

PowerPoint has destroyed the art of public speaking. Down with pointless PowerPoints!

 

PS: Slides produced by the Global Fund are actually pretty good, in contrast to those mentioned above.
