Our Partnership

 

The Global Fund is a partnership designed to accelerate the end of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria as epidemics. Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund has disbursed more than US$60.4 billion to respond to HIV, TB, malaria and COVID-19 and for programmes to strengthen health systems across more than 120 countries as of June 2023, making it one of the largest funders of global health.

Programmes supported by the Global Fund have saved 59 million lives and provided prevention, treatment and care services to hundreds of millions of people, helping to revitalize entire communities, strengthen local health systems, and improve economies. In 2022, with the aid of the Global Fund, 24.5 million people were placed on antiretroviral therapy for HIV, 6.7 million people received TB treatment and 219.7 million mosquito nets were distributed to protect children from malaria. 

Each of the 59 million lives saved by the Global Fund partnership is a person – a parent, a child, a teacher, a worker, a neighbor or a friend. Every life saved, and every infection averted, has a multiplier effect across families, communities and entire nations.

World Vision and the Global Fund Portfolio

 

World Vision has partnered with the Global Fund and national partners since its inception in 2002. Through this partnership, World Vision has acquired 164 Global Fund awards in 41 countries with a cumulative portfolio value of over US$1 billion (from 2002 to date). In 2022, there were 14 active Global Fund awards. 

Who are we reaching?

 

Global Fund and World Vision efforts reach communities with the greatest HIV, TB or malaria disease burden.  All World Vision projects support national programmes using evidence-based practices to serve communities that are hard-to-reach and often underserved.

The Global Fund’s work to end AIDS, TB and malaria is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Our partnership’s results directly contribute to progress toward this and other goals.

Global Fund grants also contribute to sustainable health results in communities in alignment with the World Vision Child Well Being goal of "children ages 0 to 5 are protected from infection and disease." 

After receiving mosquito nets and proper training from World Vision, many families are no longer getting sick. Eduardo, a father of four children, living in Nampula Province, just north of Zambezia, comments, “(Before) it was constant. It moved from one person to another. It never stopped. Since we got the nets, we no longer get malaria.”

World Vision and Global Fund HIV/AIDS Programming

Since 2004, World Vision has managed HIV/AIDS grants from the Global Fund in 26 countries, totalling US$148.7 million an an additional US$177 million in combined HIV/TB awards. Formerly primary recipient in Guatemala and Armenia, World Vision completed the first and second phases of those grants before turning the projects over to government and other local partners. In 2022, World Vision's HIV/AIDS portfolio included principal recipient grants for integrated HIV/TB in Haiti, Malawi, Nicaragua and Papua New Guinea, and subrecipient grants in Eswatini, Kenya and Thailand. World Vision’s projects have shown success in reaching marginalised and hard-to-reach groups – including ethnic minorities, migrants, orphans and vulnerable children – using community strengthening and integrated socioeconomic support interventions.

World Vision and Global Fund Malaria Programming

Since 2004, World Vision has been a primary recipient of Global Fund malaria grants in Angola, Central African Republic, Guatemala, Malawi and Mozambique, and the sub-recipient of 28 malaria grants throughout Africa and Asia, together totalling US$300.6 million. In 2022, with funding from the Global Fund, World Vision brought life-saving malaria prevention and treatment to more than 26.9 million people in six countries. All World Vision projects support national programmes to control or eliminate malaria using evidence-based practices for vector control, case management, women’s and children’s health, and health systems strengthening. World Vision leads the scaling-up of integrated community case management (iCCM) in four high-burden countries, taking accurate, rapid diagnosis and treatment the last mile to children under 5 through community health workers (CHWs). In three countries, World Vision has conducted national distribution campaigns for long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN), ensuring universal coverage with robust accountability and security.
