UNDP is the leading United Nations organization in fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries, we help nations to build integrated, lasting solutions for people and planet.
UNDP contributes to public health and development partnerships through collaborations with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the ‘Global Fund’), Roll Back Malaria, Stop TB Partnerships, and special programmes on human reproduction and infectious diseases that disproportionately affect poor populations. As part of its wider engagement with the United Nations, the Global Fund has partnered with UNDP since 2003 to ensure that grants are implemented, and services are delivered in countries facing complex challenges. The partnership focuses on three closely linked areas of work: implementation support, capacity development, and policy engagement.

The Pacific Islands Regional Multi-Country Coordinating Mechanism (PIRMCCM) has entrusted the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to serve as the Principal Recipient for GC7 grant cycle from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund). The three-year (2024- 2026) grant cycle aims to strengthen national responses to HIV and tuberculosis (TB) in the Western Pacific region.
The Multi-Country Western Pacific Integrated HIV/TB Programme supports national and regional efforts across 12 Pacific islands countries (PICs): Cook Islands, Fiji, Federal State of Micronesia, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu to scale up and improve the delivery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) prevention, treatment, care and support services, with special attention to key and vulnerable population groups, and to mitigate against the emerging emergency health risks.
The programme objective is to:
- strengthen comprehensiveness and quality of HIV prevention, treatment and care service-delivery models with a view to programmatic sustainability.
- provide early rapid and quality diagnosis of TB, DR-TB and comorbidities with specific focus on hard to reach, vulnerable groups across 12 Pacific Island countries.
- sustain high quality treatment for all forms of TB including drug-resistant TB and HIV-related TB with patient support; and 4) build up the resilience of healthcare systems, including community systems, to deliver integrated people-centered models of HIV and TB care.
