About the Global Fund
The Global Fund is an international financing institution that provides funding to countries to support programs of prevention, treatment and care for HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
Whether it be the distribution of bed nets to protect families from malaria in Honduras, training youth peer counsellors who will help other teens diagnosed as HIV-positive in South Africa, or providing equipment for the diagnosis of tuberculosis to clinics in Kazakhstan, country-driven programs to fight the pandemics receive funding through the Global Fund.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was created in 2002 to dramatically increase resources to support the fight against the three pandemics. A partnership between government, civil society, the private sector and communities living with the diseases, the Global Fund is an innovative model of health funding. As an international financing institution, the Global Fund does not manage or implement programs on the ground, relying instead on local expertise. The Global Fund works with partners to ensure that funding serves the men, women and children affected by these diseases with maximum efficiency and value for money.
