World Vision and the Global Fund
The Global Fund is a global partnership working to end HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria as public health threats while strengthening health systems. Since its creation in 2002, it has invested more than US$60 billion in over 120 countries, helping save 70 million lives and expanding access to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care.
World Vision's partnership with the Global Fund
World Vision has partnered with the Global Fund since its inception in 2002, working with governments, Country Coordinating Mechanisms, civil society, and communities to deliver high-impact programmes in some of the world’s most fragile and underserved settings.
Since 2002, World Vision has managed 188 Global Fund grants - 43 as Principal Recipient and 145 as Sub-recipient - across 44 countries, representing a cumulative portfolio of more than US$1.4 billion.
Our programmes address HIV, TB, and malaria while strengthening community health systems, the health workforce, supply chains, health information systems, and governance to improve long-term health outcomes.
Our impact
In 2025, World Vision's Global Fund-supported programmes reached more than 38.5 million people across 15 countries.
Beyond disease-specific interventions, World Vision strengthens health systems through investments in community health workers, faith partnerships, health information systems, laboratory services, supply chains, and community accountability.
Reaching the most vulnerable
World Vision's Global Fund programmes focus on people living in remote, fragile, and conflict-affected settings where access to healthcare is often most limited. Working alongside national governments and communities, we deliver evidence-based, community-centred programmes that expand access to quality health services and strengthen local health systems.
Our partnership with the Global Fund contributes directly to Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being and advances World Vision's Child Well-Being Goal that children aged 0–5 are protected from infection and disease.
Disease focus
Global Fund engagement
World Vision is a founding member of the Civil Society Principal Recipients Network (CSPRN), a global coalition of national and international civil society organisations implementing Global Fund grants. The network provides a platform for members to share good practices and lessons learned, strengthen grant implementation, and contribute feedback on Global Fund policies, systems, and guidance to improve programme quality and effectiveness.
World Vision served as CSPRN co-chair from 2015 to 2018, helping shape the network's engagement with the Global Fund and strengthen collaboration among civil society Principal Recipients worldwide.
In addition to its long-standing engagement with CSPRN, World Vision contributes to Global Fund policy and implementation through the Principal Recipient Forum, technical consultations, and strategic engagement with the Global Fund Secretariat and global health partners.
