      abstract = {Multisectoral Global Funds (MGFs) are emerging as  important new mechanisms for development financing. MGFs  like the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria are  distinctive because they are governed and financed by  multisectoral coalitions of national governments,  multilateral agencies, the private sector and civil  society, they operate independently of any one institution  and are tied to issues or policy areas. This study  considers the desirability of MGFs as instruments for  international financial mobilization and resource  allocation. MGFs hold considerable promise as focal points  for generating additional public and private resources to  address urgent global problems and to finance global public  goods. They are partnership-based and may be more  operationally nimble than traditional mechanisms. However,  MGFs may also result in a less coherent response to global  problems, duplicate existing structures and lack democratic  accountability.},
