Dear colleagues<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope you are well. We are pleased to announce the launch of an open consultation on the development of the Global Fund\u2019s post-2022 strategy. A background presentation is attached that explains the consultation process and lists a set of questions for your reflection and input. The first round of input received by 1 September 2020 <\/strong>will be reviewed by the Global Fund Board\u2019s Strategy Committee in October 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is radically altering global health, politics and economics. The impact of the pandemic on people living with and affected by HIV, TB and malaria and the programs to fight the three diseases will likely be tremendous. At the same time, it has galvanized public awareness on global health security in a way that builds enormous public support for investing in health. This makes it critically important to develop the next Global Fund Strategy to be highly effective, agile and collaborative. We must unite to fight. To succeed, the next Global Fund Strategy needs the best possible input from across the Global Fund partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We invite you to please give your input on these consultation questions through the online form on the Strategy development web page<\/a>, or by email: StrategyDevelopment@theglobalfund.org<\/a>. We also kindly request you to share this request for input as widely as possible through all your relevant networks. The slides are available in English, Spanish, French (attached) and will be available in Portuguese, Russian and Arabic on the web page<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please see the Global Fund\u2019s strategy development web page<\/a> for more background information, regular updates, and further consultation opportunities. Input received through this open consultation will be summarized and periodically posted on the web page and used to inform Global Fund Strategy Committee and Board discussions and decision-making on strategy development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
