The Partnership Forum is an integral part of the Global Fund’s governance structure. It takes place every two years and provides a platform for open and frank discussions on Global Fund strategies and policies. Partnership Forum recommendations give guidance to the decisions taken by the Global Fund Board.
The Partnership Forum is a platform for understanding, learning and debate for all Global fund stakeholders, including relevant actors not currently involved in the work of the Fund. Its objectives are to
Review and provide feedback on the progress of the Global Fund;
Develop recommendations on Global Fund strategy, policy and practice;
Mobilize and sustain political commitment to take actions to fight the three diseases and to ensure sustainable long-term financing.
The Partnership Forum is a process, not an event. It consists of online discussions in the e-Forum, consultations on Partnership Forum themes at a variety of internal and external events throughout the year, and a stakeholder meeting for invited participants.
