1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The African Constituency Bureau (ACB) for the Global Fund was established by a resolution of African Health ministers in 2012. The ACB, also known as the Bureau, brings together the two African Constituencies West and Central Africa (WCA) and East and Southern Africa (ESA) represented at the Global Fund (GF)to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. The two constituencies represent 47 African countries that are recipients of GF support for HIV, TB, and Malaria control. The Bureau facilitates collaboration across the two constituencies, facilitates effective engagement, representation, and participation of the two constituencies in GF processes, and enhances their capacity to shape GF policies and processes. It also ensures that Africa’s voice is enhanced to influence Global Health policy decisions.

The ACB in collaboration with AU-NEPAD and a variety of stakeholders including the African Union, WHO, the Global Fund, and African governments will gather experts on market shaping / local manufacturing on February 23-24, 2023, in Johannesburg South Africa.
