What we are
We are a non-profit organisation based in Kenya with a reputation for independently observing the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) since 2002. This has enabled us to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of Global Fund initiatives. We have engaged in responsible reporting and analysis and are recognised as a credible source of information for the Global Fund ecology.
Our mission is to reinforce the effectiveness of the Global Fund by serving as an independent watchdog of the Fund and its grant implementers. We provide in-depth analysis of Global Fund policies and processes and are referred to by stakeholders as ‘explainers of the Fund’.
