Table 2. Examples of the Global Drug Facility’s impact on expansion of the DOTS strategy.

Impact of the Global Drug Facility	Examples
Transformative	In the Republic of Moldova and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the GDF has helped catalyse political commitment, encouraging expansion of each country’s plans to implement DOTS treatment. In addition, partners mobilized financial and non-financial support to complement the GDF’s efforts
Facilitative	In Kenya, programmes have filled gaps in drug access through the Grant Service and stimulated organization of government resources to ensure complete and sustainable financing for anti-TB drug supplies
Supportive	In Somalia and southern Sudan, the GDF’s interventions have addressed some of each country’s drug needs, but have had limited influence on other aspects of DOTS expansion due to political and infrastructural obstacles
