Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Releases Four-Year Strategy

September 18, 2007 – The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, a Swiss-based, non-profit foundation that finances a significant portion of the world's fight against three killer diseases, has just released its strategic plan for the next four years. Titled "A Strategy for the Global Fund: Accelerating the Effort to Save Lives," the document summarizes the strategic initiatives adopted by the Global Fund Board this year, based on the extensive work of its Policy and Strategy Committee.

The United States is the largest single donor to the Global Fund; American taxpayers have contributed more than $2 billion to the Fund since its inception in 2001, or approximately 30 percent of all the resources the organization has raised.
