Uganda: Fund for aids suspends grants

The Global Fund To Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has announced it has temporarily suspended its five grants to Uganda citing evidence of mismanagement, Reuters reports. The organization made the decision after an investigation of one of the grants by PricewaterhouseCoopers found evidence of "serious mismanagement" by the Project Management Unit in the Ugandan Ministry of Health, a unit that was established to implement the grants.
