Who We Are

The Developed Country NGO Delegation (DevDel) is one of twenty delegations to the Board of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. We play a critical role in the development and evolution of organizational strategy, the funding model, the work of the Secretariat and policy.

Delegation members are representatives of civil society organizations based in countries ineligible for Global Fund allocations due to income status.

COMMITTEES

DevDel achieves its vision through the work of three committees

ETHICS AND GOVERNANCE

The role of the Ethics and Governance Committee is to ensure that the Global Fund and its stakeholders adhere to standards of ethical behavior. A key role of the Committee is to oversee the implementation of the Global Fund’s governance procedures and operations. Members of this Committee are nominated by Global Fund constituencies but serve in their personal capacity.

STRATEGY

The Strategy Committee’s role entails establishing the Global Fund’s strategic direction and ensuring that the Global Fund’s investments in health are effective and impactful. This Committee exercises decision-making powers, advisory functions, and an oversight role.

AUDIT AND FINANCE

The Audit and Finance Committee’s role is to ensure that the Global Fund’s corporate and financial operations are as efficient as possible. The Committee oversees: the financial management of the Global Fund’s resources; its internal and external audit functions; and its investigative functions.
