The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has halted payments for programmes in China amid mismanagement by a public agency, a spokesman said on Monday.
"In May, we froze all disbursements in China," said Andrew Hurst, spokesman of the Global Fund, confirming media reports."We have identified weaknesses in the quality of the implementation of the finances in China," he added. In November, the Global Fund had halted the disbursement of funds for the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Hurst.

"We believe that the main recipient, the CDC, had violated an accord of the Global Fund which said that a part of the financing accorded, at least 35 percent, must go through community organisations," he added.
