The mandate of the Global Fund is very clear. We were created to mobilize resources to help countries address AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. But we are mandated, and are actually asked to support health system strengthening, for example, as it relates to AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. We are not an agency that in general supports health systems; that would go beyond our mandate. But often, as much as you need to strengthen the systems to achieve the desired outcome on AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, yes, we support the health systems.
That's the same way we approach the human rights issue. We are not an agency that has human rights as a broad mandate. But if it relates very strongly to HIV prevention--for example, if you cannot reach some of the most affected populations because they are criminalized and have no access to these services--then it becomes part of our mandate.
It is often quite interesting that the governments that work with us and are interested in reaching those populations—because it's in the country's interest also to bring these diseases down—are quite happy to work with the Global Fund, often because we have means to work with civil society, with the vulnerable populations. For example, in these country coordinating mechanisms, every country has to have representation of people affected by the diseases.
