INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The US Government (USG), as a founding member of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) and its first and largest contributor, continues to play a leadership role in ensuring the success of this essential international effort. In 2001, President Bush made the founding contribution to the Global Fund. To date, the US has contributed more than $2.5 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Global Fund is a public-private partnership dedicated to raising and disbursing large amounts of funding to prevent and treat the pandemics of HIV\/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. One of the ways the President\u02bcs Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is supporting efforts to ensure the success of grants is through a variety of core-funded mechanisms and initiatives, including a three-year contract that will support up to $35 million in technical support to Global Fund grantees and Country Coordinating Mechanisms; core-funded mechanisms for Global Fund Technical Assistance also include initiatives through Roll Back Malaria, the Stop TB Partnership, the UNAIDS Technical Support Facilities, and the Green Light Committee, among others. These mechanisms provide a unique opportunity for local stakeholders to partner effectively to enhance the impact of global resources to combat HIV\/AIDS, TB and malaria, are designed to strengthen local capacity to carry out Global Fund activities, and are driven by local demand. The Global Fund Technical Assistance Analyst will work in coordination with the Global Fund Technical Assistance Coordinator to manage the USG Global Fund technical support efforts on country, regional, and global levels. S\/he will be placed at the Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) at the \u00a0US Department of State in Washington DC. The position receives day-to-day guidance from the Director of Multilateral Diplomacy in OGAC and serves as a member of the Multilateral Diplomacy team. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
