Core Contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria 2023-2025
The Global Fund collects and channels a big share of international funds to end HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, which mostly affect the poorest and most vulnerable people in low- and middle-income countries. Its support to country programmes has saved 44 million lives since 2002. In the coming years, the challenge is to regain lost ground in the fight against the three diseases and to further strengthening health systems to ensure impact, sustainability, and better preparedness and response to pandemics.

Domaine de compétences |
Based in Geneva, The Global Fund (GF) attracts, leverages and invests ressources to end the infectious diseases of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and to support the achievement of the SDGs. Foremost a financing mechanism, the GF works in complementarity with UN-organisations and other entities, including the private sector, that develop disease-specific strategies and support countries in implementing their national health strategies with GF’s funds. The GF has been an important player in the global response to COVID-19. It will continue to play a major role in pandemic preparedness and response. Since March 2019, the GF is the main tenant of the Global Health Campus, a building that hosts five international health organizations, thus becoming a landmark that reinforces Geneva's role as the “International health capital”. |
Priorités stratégiques de la Suisse et de l'organisation et leur cohérence |
Switzerland depends on international partners such as The Global Fund (GF) to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria and other infectious diseases with global reach. This is why it is defined as a priority multilateral organisation in Switzerland’s International cooperation Strategy 2021-2024. The GF’s strategic orientation is in line with the Swiss Health Foreign Policy 2019-2024 and SDC’s Health Guidance 2022-2030. Furthermore, the GF also invests in supporting the role of civil society and communities in planning and decision-making, as well as the provision of health services for vulnerable or marginalized populations, both important issues for Switzerland. The GF’s presence in Geneva strengthens its role as the “International health capital”. This strategic partnership which includes Swiss research entities and Swiss companies, is in the Swiss interest. Funds granted to countries by the GF are used for example to purchase quality medicines at affordable prices, insectice-treated mosquito nets, and other products to fight the three diseases. The return on investment for Switzerland is estimated to be CHF 13 for each CHF invested in the GF. |
Résultats de l'engagement déployé à ce jour par l'organisation |
Since it was created in 2002, the GF has contributed to the fight against the three diseases as part of a collective effort that includes strong contributions by governments, civil society, the private sector and people affected by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Thanks to its active communication, the GF manages to raise large amounts of multilateral funding and invests nearly US$4 billion a year to support programmes run by partners with local expertise in countries and communities most in need. As a result: |
Résultats de l'engagement déployé à ce jour par la Suisse |
Switzerland has contributed to guaranteeing that the GF’s work on HIV/AIDS and malaria is aligned to global norms and standards and that it evolves to respond to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable people. Switzerland’s engagement on the role of Country coordinating mechanisms has resulted in approval by the Board to fund an initiative to strengthen them. Switzerland’s partnership with Germany on BACKUP Health (GIZ) contributed to bringing forward this strategic discussion thanks to technical assistance to GF’s country partners. As part of the GF Ethics and Governance Committee, Switzerland has contributed strongly to further developing these functions. Switzerland’s financial contribution to the GF is reinforced by its bilateral work on health systems, health equity, malaria and HIV/AIDS in partner countries where the GF is also present. |
Effets directs de l'engagement actuel de l'organisation |
It is an imperative for the GF to regain lost ground in the fight against the three diseases, as well as to continue to strengthen health systems to ensure impact, sustainability, and better preparedness and response to pandemics. The health goals and targets set in the 2023-2028 Global Fund Strategy are explictly linked to the global disease targets developed by its main multilateral specialised partners in the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The GF will also contribute to the realization of the SDGs. In particular, financing provided through the GF will contribute to enable countries meet Goal 3 and the associated target 3.3 that seeks to end the epidemics of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria by 2030. The new GF Strategy covers the next six years across two three-year grant cycles. To complement the primary goal of ending AIDS, TB and malaria, the Strategy adds four mutually reinforcing contributory objectives around: Reflecting the fundamental change in context and modus operandi as a result of COVID-19, the Strategy adds a further evolving objective around Pandemic Preparedness and Response. |
