The Developing Country NGO (DCNGO) Delegation to the Global Fund’s Board is seeking to strengthen its database of NGOs and partners in the Global South with whom it engages, consults, and shares updates. This will enhance Delegation’s ability to build stronger connections with civil society across the regions represented in the Delegation.

The DCNGO Delegation is one of two civil society constituencies of the Global Fund Board, alongside the Developed Country NGO Delegation. There is also a Communities Delegation. Together, these three hold seats among the ten Implementer Group Board members, complementing the ten donor seats for a total of twenty voting members. The DCNGO Delegation contributes to the Board on behalf of its constituencies of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in implementing countries and works to ensure that Global Fund policies and practices are continually responsive to the needs of people living with or affected by HIV, TB, and malaria, as well as the NGOs and community-based organisations (CBOs) providing essential services and support. You can read more about DCNGO Delegation on its website.

The aim of the Delegation is to connect with civil society organizations in countries and regions that share common challenges in accessing resources and influencing global health policies. Delegation welcomes broad participation from across what is often termed the “developing world”—a label being recognized as a product of outdated, neocolonial frameworks. Within this designation, however, the Delegation sees an opportunity: to create a space where all people feel heard and represented in this Delegation. As members of the Global South, Delegation embraces the power of self-identification, asserting the right to define ourselves in ways that reflect its realities, aspirations, and diverse experiences. If the Delegation has not reflected your region accurately, you are invited to express your suggestions on how to strengthen our collective presence.
