Description: The document sets out the Global Fund contributions to health for women and children: Part 1: Invest in women and children through the new funding model. It examines investments that the Global Fund has made in reproductive, maternal, newborn, and adolescence health (RMNCAH) through the new funding model (NFM) launched in 2013. Likewise, it points out how investments specific to HIV disease, tuberculosis and malaria have impacted the health of women and children, as well as how investments in strengthening the health system (HSS) are working to build resilient health systems for all. It also summarizes the recommendations for programming more in line with gender needs within the framework of the NFM. Part 2: Innovative Alliances. It underlines the progress achieved since the beginning of several innovative partnerships for country level of co-funding under the NFM, providing several examples of successful countries so far.

The document ends by briefly pointing out how the Global Fund will ensure the continuity of investments in women and children, as it is starting to develop its new strategy, and it highlights how the strategy fits into the broader global scenario for RMNCAH investments. As part of the ongoing consultation process, the contribution of the Global Fund in RMNCAH is one of the components considered, as well as gender equality, addressing the barriers related to gender in order to access health services for women and girls.
