Competing interests: RB was a principal investigator in a study of the Global Fund (2003-4), commissioned by four European donor agencies: Irish Aid, Danish International Development Agency (Danida), UK Department for International Development, Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS, Netherlands). He is currently a principal investigator on a network, funded by Irish Aid and Danida (2006-9), which is supporting 15 country studies of HIV global initiatives (www.ghin.lshtm.ac.uk). RB has intermittently been contracted by Irish Aid to undertake reviews, including participation in the 2005 high level forum on global health partnerships; he has also been contracted as a consultant by the EuroHealth consultancy group, through funding from the Global Fund, on a study of Global Fund proposal preparation processes (2005-6) and one on local fund agent processes (2007); and was contracted by the Global Fund to support a review, in 2006, of how the fund allocates its resources.
