 We are soliciting nominations for COMMUNITY Delegation Members for
the Global Fund Board Delegation of the Communities Living with HIV,
TB and affected by Malaria

For years 2014 through 2016

CLOSING DATE of the first call for all nominations is

MONDAY 18th November 2013 at 1200 GMT.

The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is perhaps the
most important and innovative health initiative developed in the 21st
century. The Global Fund was created to dramatically increase
resources to fight these three devastating diseases, and to direct
much needed resources to areas of greatest need. As a partnership
between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected
communities, the Global Fund represents an innovative approach to
international health financing.

The Communities Delegation is made up of individuals living with HIV,
TB and affected by malaria, and its vision is one in which all
communities living with, or affected by HIV, TB and malaria have
equitable access to quality services and support needed to prevent,
treat and/or live with these infections within a conducive environment
that respects human rights. The mission of the Communities Delegation
is to ensure the voices and issues of people living with HIV, TB and
affected by malaria influence the deliberations and decisions on
investments and programmes of the Global Fund to achieve greater and
sustained impact for communities.

The Delegation actively participates in formulating policy and
strategy positions on key issues of relevance and works closely with
other board delegations (in particular the Developed and Developing
Country NGO Delegations) to ensure that issues relevant to communities
infected and affected by the three diseases are effectively addressed.
The goal of the Delegation is to ensure that our participation on the
Global Fund Board results in Universal Access to quality prevention,
treatment, care and support for communities living with and affected
by the three diseases based on the principles of equity and human
rights.

The Communities Delegation thus is required to have informed and
accountable representatives on the different committees and structures
of the Global Fund, as well as implementing mechanisms and strategies
to communicate with the broader community and partners affected by the
three diseases.

The Delegation is looking for suitable candidates to join the current
Communities Delegation, to ensure that the issues and voices heard at
the Global Fund Board level are legitimate and continue to represent
issues faced by communities living with HIV, TB and affected by
malaria. The Communities Delegation will also be actively implementing
its 5-year strategy (2011 – 2016) with its key strategic objectives
in Human Rights; Access to Prevention, Treatment, Care and Support;
Effectiveness and Efficiency; Replenishment and Resource mobilisation;
and Internal Processes.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE WOMEN AND YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV AND/OR TB
AND PEOPLE AFFECTED BY MALARIA TO APPLY. WE ALSO STRONGLY ENCOURAGE
