Why The AP Story Is Good News for the Global Fund - By Bobby Shriver Co-Founder of (RED)

Written in conjunction with Bono, my fellow founder of product (RED)

We think this week's AP story about The Global Fund is the best possible news.

Here's why.

When we formed (RED), we wanted the Fund to administer the money because we knew the Fund was set up to find the bad guys early. Many other international organizations do not have the aggressive tools used by the Fund. Others find bad guys late in the game.

But we knew the Fund would find them and shut them down immediately. We also knew they would publicize their findings, putting more pressure on other bad guys.

So this story is exactly what we knew would happen. We are thrilled.
