The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is an international financing institution that invests the world’s money to save lives. To date, it has committed US$ 19.3 billion in 144 countries to support large-scale prevention, treatment and care programs against the three diseases.

Funding proposals submitted to the Global Fund are reviewed by a 43-member Technical Review Panel (TRP). The review takes place about once a year for two weeks, which current members have described as 'a unique and memorable experience'.

Because proposals focus on the fight against the three diseases and related health systems strengthening, members of the TRP need to have wide range expertise. In addition to having sound technical knowledge and extensive program experience in HIV/AIDS, TB or malaria, it is also important that they understand broader health systems and development 'cross-cutting' issues. These include capacity-building, governance and macroeconomics, as well as topics such as budgeting and financial management (value for money), gender, sexual orientation and gender identities, human resources, procurement and service delivery, community systems strengthening – to name but a few. For this reason, we do not recruit people with very narrow expertise.
