Aidspan is an independent watchdog of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and is publisher of Global Fund Observer, read by
nearly 10,000 health and development professionals globally. Aidspan aims to work as a critical friend of the Global Fund, undertaking research
and facilitating discussion, with a mission to reinforce and improve the effectiveness of the Global Fund and its grant implementers worldwide.
Aidspan has an annual budget of circa $2million.
The founder of Aidspan, Bernard Rivers, will hand over the Executive Director position in mid-2012, having led the organisation successfully for
a decade. During this time, Aidspan has grown in influence and regard, developing substantive donor relationships, and relocating from New
York to Nairobi. A successor is sought to provide leadership for the next phase, managing a team of 13 staff and further developing strong external
relationships with stakeholders and funders. The entrepreneurial nature of Aidspan means that the Executive Director is an active do-er, engaging
in research and analysis, as well as overall leader.
Ideal candidates will combine strength in developing vision and strategy with an outstanding aptitude for research/analysis. They will be compelling
communicators and experienced managers of people and budgets.
A demonstrable commitment to the work of the Global Fund is essential, along with a track record of positive external relationship management.
