Calling W4GF Advocates to join the GFAN Speakers Bureau
The Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN) first launched its ‘Ambassadors’ program – composed of people living with or affected by HIV, TB and/or malaria – for its Here I Am Campaign in 2010, with a new group in 2012-2013. This evolved in 2015 into a ‘Speakers Bureau’ and was reconstituted again in 2017. The principle is that people who have personally experienced the impact of the Global Fund in their lives are the most impactful spokespeople for the Global Fund.
GFAN is seeking a new group of people for the GFAN Speakers Bureau. These individuals will, as much as possible, represent the diversity of people who are affected by the 3 diseases: men and women of all ages, people from countries around the world and people representing those key and vulnerable populations and communities that are most affected. Speakers should live in a country currently eligible to receive a Global Fund grant. There is more criteria and information here Nomination and Application Documents
