This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Fund to Finght AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This short film by Adrian Steirn presents the story of the Global Fund’s work to collaborate with key international figures in the first ten years of its fight against these global pandemics.


According to the Executive Director of the Global Fund Michel Kazatchkine:

“The story about the Global Fund is a story about how the world could actually come together and turn a hopeless situation into one of promise. This amazing film tells that story through the words of some of the people who were crucial in making this dramatic turnaround. It is fantastic to be reminded of how terrible the future looked for global health ten years ago, and how far we have come.”

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recently renewed its commitment to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, giving $750 million through a promissory note. This innovative funding method gives the Global Fund the flexibility and authority to distribute funds efficiently based on immediate needs, leading to greater impact.
