2005 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Fund)
This is to inform you of current non-governmental organizations (NGO) positions available on the Board of Directors of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Fund).
This year, the NGO delegations decided that Alternates should be selected to serve 1 year as an Alternate followed by 1 year as a Board member. It means that we would only select Alternates with the expectation that they progress to the Board member position in the 2nd year of their 2-year mandate.
The Communities and Developing Country NGO delegations agreed to adopt a new process starting with the "2005 Call for Nominations". However, the Developed Country NGO Delegation, now scheduled to select a Board member, will adopt the new process from 2006 when the position of Alternate becomes vacant.
