This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Global fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The Global fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria uses these funds and other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. The Global fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria is a unique, public-private partnership and international financing institution dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. It is a partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector, and affected communities that represents an innovative approach to international health financing. The Global fund’s model centers on the concepts of country ownership and performance-based funding, which means that organizations and institutions in developing countries implement their programs based on their priorities and must be able to show achieved results. Since its creation in 2002, the Global fund has become the leading global financer of programs to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, with approved funding in 126 eligible countries. This grant contributes towards meeting the Sustainable development goal target of eliminating HIV, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics by 2030 by supporting countries to scale up treatment and prevention services. This grant also contributes to improving the health and rights of women, adolescents and children by breaking down barriers to access to life-saving prevention and treatment services. It also focuses on international assistance efforts on helping the poorest and most vulnerable. To date, the Global fund has saved over 59 million lives.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) maximized people-centred integrated systems for health to deliver impact, resilience and sustainability; (2) maximized the engagement and leadership of most affected communities to leave no one behind; (3) maximized health equity, gender equality and human rights; (4) mobilized increased resources; and (5) contributed to pandemic preparedness and response.
