    Implementing HIV/AIDS global fund programs : funding disbursement mechanisms in Zambia
    (2008) Conner, Deborah
    The dissertation explores how variations in fund performance can be explained. Certain hypotheses suggested in the literature are set out that have been advanced to account for the differential performance of principal recipients. The dissertation analyzes the performance of the various funding mechanisms by exploring systems and procedures; public or non-governmental status; implementation models; staffing issues; NGO and CSO involvement in project implementation; and the absorption of funds. The dissertation makes an assessment of the significance of each factor in improving or worsening the performance of a disbursement mechanism, and draws some broad preliminary conclusions about how differences in disbursement performance can be explained.
