| Organization name: | Global Drug Facility (GDF) |
| Organization type: | UN System Organization/Specialized Agency |
| Website: | www.stoptb.org/gdf/ |
| Description: | The Global Drug Facility (GDF) is a mechanism for saving lives. The GDF is an initiative to increase access to high quality tuberculosis (TB) drugs for DOTS implementation, a TB control strategy. Globally, TB is the leading curable cause of infectious death. The GDF is housed in WHO headquarters in Geneva and managed by a small team in the Stop TB partnership secretariat.
The GDF is not a traditional procurement mechanism. It has adopted a new perspective on TB drug procurement, by linking demand for drugs to supply and monitoring, outsourcing all services to partners on a competitive basis, using product packaging to simplify drug management and linking grants to TB programme performance. The GDF provides a unique package of services, including technical assistance in TB drug management and monitoring of TB drug use, as well as procurement of high-quality TB drugs at relatively low cost.
