An estimated 47% of Global Fund grants has been used on procurement. The Global Fund’s role in procurement and supply management is primarily focused on policy approach and assistance to countries with policy requirements when procuring products with Global Fund resources for the prevention, the treatment and care of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund is not engaged in direct procurement activities, which are managed and conducted under the full responsibility of grant recipients. The Global Fund is establishing voluntary pooled procurement and capacity building services for Principal Recipients beginning in January 2009.

This section provides information, guides and template forms related to procurement and supply management of health products, including medicines and related health products and equipment, conducted with Global Fund resources. In addition, background information and updates are available on the Voluntary Pooled Procurement and Capacity Building Services / Supply Chain Management Assistance programs.
