The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is recruiting experts to serve on the Technical Review Panel (TRP) to review the Third Round Proposals. The TRP plays a crucial role in reviewing proposals for funding submitted to the Global Fund. Individuals with expert technical knowledge and extensive experience in one of the following areas are sought: HIV/AIDS; Tuberculosis; Malaria; Cross cutting issues (such as institutional and governance issues, macro-economics in a health sector context, absorptive capacity). An open, transparent criteria-based selection process will be followed. Wherever possible, the selection of members will also seek 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 community. Approximate equal representation of both genders is also sought. Members will be appointed to serve a term of three years and applicants must be available for the dates of the TRP meetings.
