Support for the Global Fund

The U.S. Government was a leader in the creation of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria as the embodiment of a new way of doing business. The Global Fund was designed to bring together diverse partners, including the public and private sectors, donors and recipients, and NGOs and affected communities, to quickly and effectively mobilize resources for combating HIV/AIDS and the other two diseases.

The U.S. Government, as a founding member of the Global Fund and its first and largest contributor, continues to play a leadership role in ensuring the success of this essential international effort. In 2001, President Bush made the founding contribution to the Global Fund. To date, the U.S. has contributed more than $2.5 billion.

The Global Fund is a public-private partnership dedicated to raising and disbursing large amounts of funding to prevent and treat the pandemics of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. As a financing organization with no regional or country offices, the Global Fund is unable to provide hands-on technical support to improve grant performance; this becomes the responsibility of international and bilateral partners.
