Supply Operation

ABSTRACT During the 17th Committee Meeting held in October 2021, the Secretariat updated the Strategy Committee and Audit and Finance Committee on supply operations and market shaping. The update covered the Global Fund expenditure on health products that has been increasing since 2018, the progress the organization has made in implementing the market shaping strategy, the use of wambo.org to place orders not covered by Global Fund funding, and how the organization is transitioning to a new market shaping strategy.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund Board considered several aspects of its Supply Operations, including a review of the Market Shaping Strategy and a decision to expand wambo.org, the online procurement tool. The Board's decision makes wambo.org available for non-Global Fund-financed orders by governments and non-government development organizations, in Global Fund-eligible and -transitioned countries, for all products, services and functionalities – with an initial $50-million cap.
