Advisor, Strategy and Policy - GL D - 2 years Defined Duration

The new Global Fund Strategy, Fighting Pandemics and Building a Healthier and More Equitable World: Global Fund Strategy (2023-2028), sets out how the Global Fund partnership aims to accelerate impact towards the 2030 horizon and contribute to a world free of the burden of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria with better, more equitable health for all, as set out in Sustainable Development Goal 3.

Realization of the Strategy’s vision in a rapidly changing global context requires active evolution of the Global Fund’s work, policies and operational model to ensure they are optimally positioned to maximize the impact of our resources and build the sustainability of Global Fund-supported programs. Important areas of work that will help deliver these aims include, but are not limited to, model updates to strengthen the sustainability of Global Fund investments, the roll-out of the Global Fund’s allocation methodology, the Global Fund’s collaboration with other global health institutions such as Gavi on malaria vaccines, and adaptation of core policies to deliver these efforts.

The Advisor will work with the Senior Strategy and Policy Advisor and Manager, Allocation Model, as well as other senior members of the Strategy and Policy Hub (including Senior Policy Advisor) to develop and evolve relevant strategic areas of work, policy and core operational aspects of our model. This will involve developing strategic options, policy guidance, undertaking research, and deducing evidence-based recommendations to inform the strategic and policy direction of the organization. The Advisor will also support the Head, Strategy and Policy Hub in providing support to other functions or workstreams in which the Department is involved.

• Lead in the proactive development of strategic positions and policy options to guide the evolution of the Global Fund’s work in implementing the second half of its Strategy.
