What are you doing now?
I am working for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund invests funds from donor countries and private institutions in more than 140 countries all over the world, with a portfolio turnover of about 10-12 billion dollars every 3 years on average. I am based in Geneva (Switzerland) with my wife and 2 young sons. I am a Finance Specialist within one of the High Impact departments (High Impact Africa II), comprised of 7 African nations. I am working with sub-Saharan African countries that are implementing public health programs to tackle the three diseases, using donor funds. We work closely with United Nations agencies and Programs, Governments, Embassies, International NGOs, Local NGOs, Foundations, Universities and various other stakeholders involved in the Public Health space. In my role, I travel 3-4 times per year to each of the 2-3 African nations I support in particular, where we conduct grant implementation and grant-making missions, audits, trainings, policy development, high level political meetings, donor-coordination forums and more.
We have been following some of the many ways in which The Global Fund is fighting diseases worldwide. We particularly loved this story about Ramadhan Milanzi who is a survivor of tuberculosis (TB) who now donates his time to locating and helping rural victims of TB.
