We work closely with the other Board Delegations/Constituencies (in particular the Developed and Developing Country NGO Delegations) to ensure that the issues relevant to communities infected and affected by the three diseases are effectively addressed.

experience with policy analysis and/or monitoring and evaluation of Global Fund programmes;
expertise in issues of procurement systems & market dynamics, TRIPs & IPs, human rights, gender (including women and girls), harm reduction, malaria-elimination, risk management and assurance, audit functions; and
identify/represent key populations of people who use drugs, sex workers, young people, women and girls, men who have sex with men, transgender people, etc.
