The Global Fund is an international financing institution that fights AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Its services include distributing mosquito nets to protect families from malaria in Honduras, training peer counselors who work with teenagers diagnosed with HIV in South Africa, providing equipment for the diagnosis of tuberculosis to clinics in Kazakhstan, and more. It spurs partnerships between government, civil society, the private sector, and communities living with the diseases. The Global Fund does not manage or implement programs on the ground, relying instead on local experts. It works with partners to ensure that funding serves the men, women and children affected by these diseases. The Global Fund was founded in 2002 and is based in Geneva, Switzerland.
