Founded in 2002, The Global Fund is not an implementing agency but a financing institution that supports countries in designing and executing their own health programs. It raises and invests up to US$5 billion annually to fight infectious diseases and build resilient health systems.

Key focus areas include:

  • HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment
  • Tuberculosis (TB) control and care
  • Malaria prevention (including mosquito nets and treatment)
  • Strengthening community and national health systems
  • Pandemic preparedness and response
