Founded in 2002, the Global Fund is a partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and people affected by the diseases.

The Global Fund was formed as an independent, non-profit foundation under Swiss law and hosted by the World Health Organization in January 2002.
In January 2009, the organization became an administratively autonomous organization, terminating its administrative services agreement with the World Health Organization.
