I SPEAK OUT NOW!
"I Speak Out Now!" supports people to report fraud and abuse in programs financed by the Global Fund.
What is the Office of the Inspector General?
Established in 2005, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has an overall mission to provide the Global Fund with independent and objective assurance over the design, effectiveness and quality of controls and processes in place to manage the key risks impacting the Global Fund's programs and operations. All processes and operations of the Global Fund, both at its Geneva Headquarters and in the countries that benefit from its grants, are within the scope of OIG.
The Office has three Units - Audit and Advisory, Investigations and Professional Services.
Through audits and investigations, the OIG promotes good practice, reduces risk and reports on fraud and abuse. More precisely, we:
- protect the Global Fund’s assets, investments, reputation and sustainability
- assess the organization’s risk management, governance and internal controls
- investigate alleged fraud, abuse, theft, corruption, sexual exploitation & abuse, and human rights violations within Global Fund programs
- agree management actions to ensure the organization is taking the right measures and managing risks effectively in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria
- report directly to the Global Fund Board through the Audit and Finance Committee
Inside the OIG: 2023 in Numbers
The OIG made significant progress in 2023, despite a worsening of country security situations and evolving risks. See the highlights of OIG activities in 2023 and download the OIG's 2023 Annual Report for more information on what's behind the numbers.
Protecting the Global Fund's Mission
The Global Fund is a worldwide partnership to defeat HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria and ensure a healthier, safer and more equitable future for all. We raise and invest more than US$5 billion a year to fight deadly infectious diseases, challenge the injustice that fuels them, and strengthen health systems and pandemic preparedness in more than 100 of the hardest hit countries.
We unite world leaders, communities, civil society, health workers and the private sector to find solutions that have the most impact, and we take them to scale worldwide. Since 2002, our partnership has saved 65 million lives.
We are the world’s largest multilateral funder of global health grants in low- and middle-income countries, disbursing over US$65 billion to countries since 2002. We know that with science, money, political will and leadership, we can fight and overcome the deadliest disease threats.
The Global Fund is proof that by working hand-in-hand with civil society, governments, private sector partners, philanthropists, technical partners and communities affected by the diseases, we can save lives and dramatically change the course of HIV, TB and malaria.
