UK investment in the Global Fund 2020-2022 to reduce transmission and mortality for HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria through treatments, diagnostics and preventive technologies and related services. Programme objective is to tackle the immediate impact of the three most deadly infectious diseases — HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria — and put the international community on the right track to end the 3 diseases as epidemics by 2030, and achieve universal health coverage. The UK provides support to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria to help end the epidemics as called for in the SDGs. The global fund is a partnership which relies on effective partners at global and country level to deliver on its mandate. The UK Global Fund Accelerator (GFA) aims to address critical gaps to success to help achieve greater impact, focusing particularly at the country level where the Global Fund Secretariat does not have a presence, and there are challenges to designing and implementing effective three disease programmes in ways that strengthen health systems and contribute to universal health coverage (UHC). This EME relates to the GFA, and the potential requirement for a technical assistance facility as part of this.
