21 October
The European Alliance against Malaria, with the support of the French
Permanent Representation to the EU, organized an informative session on the
Innovative Funding Mechanisms to bridge the funding gap to reach the health
MDGs. It offered an opportunity to share lessons learnt and to look at new
funding opportunities such as the Affordable Medicines Facility for Malaria
(AMFm). The session was attended by Permanent Representatives of various
European Countries, and several Civil Society Organizations working on
health. For information on the session, and to download the presentations

*Upcoming Events: European Development Days*
15-17 November
This year's European Development Days events are scheduled to be held in
Strasbourg. DSW will co-host a special session at the international forum
along with Action for Global Health, Countdown 2015, UNAIDS, WHO, World Bank
and the Global Fund to discuss how health coordination initiatives,
including the International Health Partnership, can support local governance
and civil society involvement; and how the Global Fund's country
coordinating mechanisms (CCMs) can support local governance and
accountability. High level speakers from Africa will share their experience.
Recommendations from this discussion will be presented at the Global Fund's
Partnership Forum 8-10 December 2008 in Dakar.
