Our Story
The Global Fund Advocates Network Asia-Pacific (GFAN AP) is an affiliate of the Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN) and aims to facilitate more consolidated advocacy efforts by communities and civil society in the Asia-Pacific region towards sufficient investments in health, and especially in HIV, TB and malaria, through the mobilisation of resources for the Global Fund to Fight ADIS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; as well as increased domestic financing for the three diseases in countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
