ABSTRACT A list is provided of Global Fund contact staff dealing with each country that is eligible for Global Fund grants.

A common complaint overheard by GFO at the Global Fund Partnership Forum and the Bangkok International AIDS Conference in July was that people who have been excluded from their country’s CCM process often do not know how to contact the Global Fund, and sometimes do not know how to contact their CCM.

Below are the relevant contacts at the Global Fund Secretariat for each country.

(For information on Global Fund activities in any country that has received a grant, those with web access should go to www.TheGlobalFund.org and choose the country of interest under “Choose a Country” on the left hand side of the screen.)
