Secretariat
The Global Fund's Secretariat is responsible for day-to-day operations, 
including mobilizing resources from the public and private sectors, managing grants, providing financial, legal and administrative support, and reporting information on the Global Fund's activities to the Board and the public.
About 335 employees representing more than 78 nationalities work at the Secretariat's headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
Though English is the primary working language, at least two-thirds of the employees at the Global Fund are also proficient in French. Many other languages are also spoken by the staff, ranging from the other four official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Spanish) to dialects from all parts of the world.
The Secretariat is led by Executive Director Dr. Michel Kazatchkine.
Less than 3 percent of annual commitments are used for central administration and management of the Global Fund each year.
