Since 2004, Friends has served as the leading source in the U.S. of accurate, timely information on the Global Fund, a public-private partnership that is challenging how the world fights disease. Friends shares the Global Fund’s vision to end the deadly epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria through approaches that are innovative, efficient and transparent. Friends engages U.S. policymakers and influencers in conversation about the Global Fund’s lifesaving work, and highlights the significant returns on health investment, both for global partners and the United States. As a convener of substantive and outcome-oriented discussions in the U.S., Friends has built strong credibility among government, global health, private sector, faith-based and grass tops partners. We foster connections among a broad range of stakeholders who are committed to improving health and saving lives.
