Youth Council Members
22 April 2020
The newly formed Global Fund Youth Council brings the unique reality of adolescents and young people, in all their diversity, to the attention of the Executive Director of the Global Fund. Announced at the November 2019 Global Fund Board meeting, the Youth Council will provide insight into the needs and challenges youth face in relation to HIV, tuberculosis and malaria and, more broadly, to other aspects of their health and well-being. The council advises the executive director, who facilitates the council.
Members are primarily under 25 and live with or affected by HIV, tuberculosis or malaria and reflect the diversity of young people, including key and vulnerable populations. Criteria for membership and core responsibilities are detailed in the terms of reference:
