GDF Seeks Nominations for its Business Advisory Committee

To ensure that the GDF continues to operate effectively as it takes on such new challenges, the GDF Business Advisory Committee (BAC) considers the complex set of business issues specifically relevant to GDF procurement operations and strategy implementation and makes recommendations to GDF and the Stop TB Partnership Coordinating Board.

GDF is currently seeking nominations for two new candidates to serve on the GDF BAC.

If you or someone you know would be a suitable candidate for the BAC, please submit your nomination to the GDF. Generally, candidates for the BAC should have significant expertise and relationships in one or more of the following fields: raw material manufacturing, pharmacy, product formulation for drugs and diagnostics, contract law, business development, competitive procurement processes, pricing and distribution. For this call, GDF is particularly interested in candidates with expertise in quality assurance including prequalification, regulatory law with an emphasis on drug registration, an understanding of market dynamics for second-line anti-TB drugs, or marketing and resource mobilization. Nominations should include a short cover letter explaining why the candidate would be a valuable contributor to the BAC, as well as a CV or resume for the candidate.

All nominations and materials must be sent by email to the GDF. Emails should be directed to gdf@who.int with the subject heading: NOMINATION FOR GDF BUSINESS ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The closing date for receipt of nominations is October 1st 2007.
