Global Fund Technical Review panel recruitment

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is recruiting experts to

serve on the Technical Review Panel (TRP).

The Global Fund was created to finance, attract, manage and disburse additional

resources to make a sustainable and significant contribution to mitigate the

impact caused by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in countries in need, and

contributing to poverty reduction. The Technical Review Panel (TRP), which has

26 members, plays a crucial role in reviewing proposals submitted to the Global

Fund and ensuring that those funded are of high quality. The TRP consists of 11

cross-cutters, 7 HIV-AIDS experts, 4 Malaria experts and 4 Tuberculosis experts

Individuals with expert technical knowledge and extensive experience in one of

the following are sought:

**HIV/AIDS

**Tuberculosis

**Malaria

**Cross cutting issues (such as institutional and governance issues,

macro-economics in a health sector context)

The current term of appointment is three rounds of proposals; however the Board

is considering its extension to four rounds. Members will be paid an honorarium

and their expenses. They must be available for the two week TRP meetings in

Geneva every 8 to 12 months. The next meeting is in early May 2004. Fluency in

English is required as this is the working language of the TRP.

A transparent criteria-based selection process will be followed which seeks to

achieve a significant proportion of members from each of the WHO regions,

representation from public and private sectors and civil society, including a

qualified member from the Persons Living with AIDS community. A balanced gender

representation is sought.
