GLOBAL FUND: Mali fraud

three senior government officials in Mali have been arrested in connection with alleged fraud with Global Fund grants.

In November 2009, in the course of an audit and subsequent investigation, the Fund's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) uncovered evidence of fraudulent and unjustified use of grant funds by senior staff at the Department of Administration and Finance (DAF) of the Mali Ministry of Health.

The evidence collected led the OIG to make contact with the authorities in Mali and, ultimately, to the arrest of the accountant responsible for the administration of grants at the DAF, along with the Secretary General and the Registrar for the Ministry.

This information is contained in "The Office of the Inspector General Progress Report for October 2009 – February 2010."
