[afro-nets] Experts for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is re-
cruiting experts to serve on the Technical Review Panel (TRP)
-------------------------------------------------------------

The Global Fund was created to finance, attract, manage and dis-
burse additional resources to make a sustainable and significant
contribution to mitigate the impact caused by HIV/AIDS, tubercu-
losis and malaria in countries in need, and contributing to pov-
erty reduction. The TRP, which has 26 members, plays a crucial
role in reviewing proposals submitted to the Global Fund and en-
suring that those funded are of high quality.

Individuals with expert technical knowledge and extensive ex-
perience in one of the following are sought:
* HIV/AIDS
* Tuberculosis
* Malaria
* Cross cutting issues (such as institutional and governance
issues, macro-economics in a health sector context)

The current term of appointment is four rounds of proposals. TRP
members must be available for the two week TRP meetings in Ge-
neva every 12 months. In addition TRP members need to be acces-
sible by email for up to 6 months for the clarification process
for the proposals approved by the Board. Fluency in English is
required as this is the working language of the TRP.

A transparent criteria-based selection process will be followed
which seeks to achieve a significant proportion of members from
each of the WHO regions, representation from public and private
sectors and civil society, including a qualified member from the
Persons Living with AIDS, Tuberculosis and/or Malaria community.
A balanced gender representation is sought.

Applicants with strong experience from private sector are
strongly encouraged. The private sector experience need not be
limited to the pharmaceutical industry: experience in managing
private health systems or health care in the developing world
would be very useful.

Individuals with expertise in HIV/AIDS and/or cross cutting is-
sues, who also have specific nutritional expertise are also en-
couraged to apply.

Moreover, shortlisted candidates will be used as the source for
new TRP members for the next two rounds
