the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), Feed
the Future (FTF), and the Neglected Tropical Disease Initiative (NTD). The GHI also
incorporates a broader set of government
agencies through the GHI strategic council;
however, the role of the strategic council in
implementation is currently unclear. Before March 2011, Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton was the de facto leader of the GHI.
In January 2012, Lois Quam was appointed
executive director, and currently coordinates
the GHI from her office. Within the State
Department Quam oversees the GHI Operations Committee comprised of Dr. Rajiv
Shah, administrator of USAID; Ambassador Eric Goosby, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator; and Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of
the CDC. According to the December 2010
Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development
Review (QDDR), control of the GHI is targeted for transfer to USAID by September
2012, but only after USAID meets a set of
benchmarks that demonstrate its ability to
lead the GHI. PEPFAR is the only exception
to this consolidation and will remain under
the OGAC. It is currently unclear what GHI
leadership really means and whether USAID
will assume this role. (GHI Mid-Term Review
