CALL FOR NEW MEMBERS / December 2010
Delegation of Developing Country NGO's to the Board of
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM)
The Developing Country NGOs Delegation to the Global Fund Board is seeking additional individuals to be part of the delegation, beginning in February 2011. The Delegation members who are selected will serve a minimum of two years.
Delegation's Mission Statement
The Developing Country NGO Delegation represents the diverse NGO / CBO response from the global south when it comes to AIDS, TB and Malaria on the GFATM Board.
Based on the knowledge and experience of NGOs and CBOs and their constituencies, this delegation aims to contribute to and influence Global Fund policies and practices to be continually and appropriately responsive to the needs of those affected by AIDS, TB and Malaria and of implementing NGOs / CBOs themselves. One of the defining features of this approach is the unique ability to bring the perspectives of both recipients and implementers to the GFATM processes.
Objectives
The delegations objectives are to:
- Represent the perspectives of Developing Country NGO's on the GFATM Board in a strategic and consultative manner.
- Inform and positively influence the governance processes of the Global Fund to better integrate non-governmental and community based efforts to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria into national and international responses.
A Board Member, along with an Alternate Board Member and a Communications Focal Point, leads the delegation. In addition to these three, seven other delegates attend board meetings, based on individual disease expertise, regional and gender representation / balance, and the demands of the board meeting agenda. These seven are chosen from a larger delegation group, to which nominations are now being invited. A full delegation would eventually number about 40 people globally.
The CLOSING DATE for nominations is January 15th, 2011. It will not be possible to consider applications received past this date.
Please send all applications with all required documents as detailed in the annex to: gfngoapplication@gmail.com
