The [Evaluation and Learning Office](/en/iel/evaluation-learning-office/ "Evaluation & Learning Office") of the Global Fund, with oversight from the Independent Evaluation Panel, will commission an evaluation of Global Fund efforts to maximize gender equality in HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria programs.

The purpose of the evaluation is to assess to what extent, and how, approaches to advance gender equality have been integrated into HIV, TB and malaria programs supported by Global Fund investments. This evaluation is a formative assessment to identify the progress and achievements made so far and to serve as a forward-looking assessment to provide actionable recommendations for improvement in future Global Fund grant cycles. The evaluation implementation period is expected to start in late January 2025 and last until September 2025.
