help The Global Fund FAQ
Does the Global Fund run hospitals and treatment programs itself?
No. It finances programs implemented by national governments, civil-society groups, and other principal recipients rather than operating as a field agency.
Which diseases does the Global Fund actually finance?
Its central mandate covers HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Grants can also strengthen laboratories, supply chains, community health services, and other health-system capabilities that support those three responses.
How does a country apply for Global Fund money?
A Country Coordinating Mechanism develops a funding request after a national country-dialogue process. It also nominates principal recipients that manage approved grants and report on implementation.
Where does the Global Fund get its money?
Most financing comes from donor governments, with additional contributions from private foundations and companies. The organization raises funds through three-year replenishment cycles and has operated since 2002.
