The Global Health Programme of AJF serves as the focal point in Japan for international civil society working on policy recommendations and advocacy on global health issues including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and Health System Strengthening. AJF works closely together with grassroots and/or organizations on issues surrounding the three most infectious diseases, including advocacy and awareness campaigns including “funding the fund”, and innovative financing mechanisms for health. The aim is to increase the quantity and quality of Japanese (and global) contribution to global health commitments.
AJF has led the advocacy for global health issues with civil society around the globe in different occasions including TICAD process and G8/G20 processes.
