Technical Review Panel

Each request for funding submitted to the Global Fund is evaluated for technical merit and strategic focus by an independent group of experts, the Technical Review Panel.

Beyond making recommendations for funding, the Technical Review Panel also has an important role to play in the development and implementation of the Global Fund Strategy as an advisory body to the Global Fund Board.

The Technical Review Panel consists of experts in HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, human rights and gender, health systems and sustainable financing. In addition to supporting the financing of effective programs, the Technical Review Panel also reports on the lessons learned from funding request reviews for applicants, technical partners, the Secretariat and the Board.

The Technical Review Panel is headed by the Chair, who is also an ex-officio member of the Strategy Committee of the Global Fund Board. The Chair is supported by two Vice-Chairs.
