Global Resource Tracking Working Group

History and Harmonization

The Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS Philanthropic Resource Tracking is a current collaboration among FCAA, the European HIV/AIDS Funders Group (EFG) and UNAIDS that works to investigate HIV/AIDS philanthropy on a global level.

EFG was created in 2002 by a group of European-based funders working to promote greater transparency, collaboration, and effectiveness in European HIV/AIDS philanthropy, and to encourage new activity in the field. FCAA and EFG have deepened their collaborative relationship since, stepping away from a country- or region-specific approach towards connecting funders in both regions and mobilizing a global philanthropic response to HIV/AIDS.

In 2008 and 2009, FCAA and EFG worked to harmonize their resource tracking data by using a similar survey tool, categories, and layout in their resource tracking reports; they subsequently launched the reports jointly to a global audience. The regional and intended use categories found in both the FCAA and EFG resource tracking reports for 2008 coordinate with the UNAIDS categories, which are also used by the US President's Emergency Plans for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), in an effort to make all resource flows data comparable.
