Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria
The Global Fund is a unique global public/private partnership dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities represents a new approach to international health financing. The Global Fund works in close collaboration with other bilateral and multilateral organizations to supplement existing efforts dealing with the three diseases.
Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund has become the main source of finance for programs to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, with approved funding of US$ 19.3 billion for more than 572 programs in 144 countries. It provides a quarter of all international financing for AIDS globally, two-thirds for tuberculosis and three quarters for malaria.
Global Fund financing is enabling countries to strengthen health systems by, for example, making improvements to infrastructure and providing training to those who deliver services. The Global Fund remains committed to working in partnership to scale up the fight against the diseases and to realize its vision – a world free of the burden of AIDS, TB and malaria.
Since the Global Fund was founded in 2002, it has changed the way the world is working to defeat the three diseases. In this short film, some of the Global Fund’s closest friends and best-known advocates talk about the way the Global Fund works, achievements thus far, and the prospect for a world where AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria can be overcome.
At Present the Project “Ensure Universal Access of the Key Affected Populations in Belarus to HIV Prevention, Treatment and Care Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS in the Republic of Belarus” of the Global Fund has been successfully realizing in Belarus.
A new grant of the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria for 2010-2014 is one of the biggest international technical aid projects implemented in Belarus. The total cost of the grant is about 24 million of Euro. This is Belarus’ third agreement with the Global Fund. Since 2004 the Fund has allocated 64 million of the USA dollars to fight HIV/Aids and TB to Belarus.
Since 2004 the share of HIV-infected babies born to mothers with HIV has fallen from 12% to 3.4%. The HIV incidence among people aged between 15-24 has gone down from 28% to 12.4%. The number of new HIV cases has stabilized. More so, 1,300 people have survived due to antiretroviral therapy provided within the framework of the grants.
