An independent global public-private partnership organization, The Global Fund wields efforts to attract and disburse resources to prevent and treat severe health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The organization sees the partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector, and affected communities as “an innovative approach to international health financing.”

By collaborating with other bilateral and multilateral organizations— including the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI)—The Global Fund is able to support research and development projects that are specifically directed towards the three dreaded diseases. The organization is based in Geneva, Switzerland and provides roughly three-fifths of all international financing for malaria and tuberculosis, and nearly a quarter of all international financing for HIV/AIDS. In addition, The Global Fund has developed an innovative “grant architecture,” which has delivered significant changes to the organization’s operating model, including the application process, structuring of finance, management of performance, and decision making about how future funding can be made.
