GFAN’s Get Back on Track for the 6th Replenishment Campaign
To Get Back on Track we must Step Up the Fight.
The Global Fund has a history of doing extraordinary work: few investments have had the impact that the Global Fund has in saving lives, preventing infections and creating strong and resilient health systems. We are at a critical moment where the minimum will not be enough to prevent us from sliding back.
What Can You Do?
Most importantly:
1. Sign the Call to Action or Appel à l’action
2. Share our campaign on social media!
