The Global Fund Inspector General

The Global Fund Board intends to appoint an Inspector General. Reporting to the Board, through the Audit and Ethics Committee, the Inspector General is a vital part of the Global Fund’s assurance system. As head of one of the Fund’s two administrative units (the other being the Secretariat led by the Executive Director), the Inspector General is responsible for the provision of independent and objective assurance. This encompasses the design and effectiveness of controls and processes in place to manage key risks. S/he does this in a dynamic and evolving environment, with the overall aim of contributing to the realisation of the Global Fund’s mission and goals.

The Global Fund’s mission is to attract, manage and disburse additional resources to make a sustainable and significant contribution in the fight against the three diseases, and to contribute to better health for all. Since 2002, it has become a leading financier of programs to reverse the burden of these diseases. It has approved funding of US$ 22.6 billion for more than 1,000 programs in 150 countries.  Programs supported by the Global Fund have provided AIDS treatment for 3.3 million people, anti-tuberculosis treatment for 8.6 million people and 230 million long lasting insecticidal nets for the prevention of malaria.  Under the leadership of recently appointed Executive Director, Mark Dybul, the Global Fund is pursuing a clear strategy that will build on its first ten years of success.

The successful candidate for the role of Inspector General will bring substantial experience of leading both audit and investigation activity, in complex global organisations. S/he will have the authority to engage at board level. S/he will bring well-developed managerial skills and a track record of building and developing teams. The new Inspector General will possess a combination of clarity of purpose, independence, and diplomacy, that allows him or her to maintain a critical and constructive relationship with the Secretariat. A skilled communicator, the Inspector General will be comfortable and effective in a multi-cultural context.

The Global Fund has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to assist with this appointment.
