World Vision and the Global Fund

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." 

Global Fund Engagement

World Vision is a founding member of the Civil Society Principal Recipients Network (CSPRN) and took on the co-chair role from 2015 to 2018. The CSPRN is a membership coalition of national and international NGO implementing partners who share best practices and lessons learned around grant implementation. CSPRN also provides feedback and input on improved regulations and systems that support better quality grant management globally.
