This report card grades major donor countries based on their current pledges to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria (GFATM) for 2006 and 2007 compared to their corresponding fair shares.

In 2000, the Government of India pledged that 7 out of 10 people with infectious TB would be treated by these services, with at least 6 of them being cured by the end of 2005. This report card tracks the work done up to September 2004 to meet that commitment.
