Global Fund
Atos Consulting, 2009
Positioning The Global Fund to continue its fight against the world's most devastating diseases
Summary
Winner of MCA Awards 2010
Atos Consulting helped the Global Fund become a fully autonomous organisation – in seven months.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is an international institution which invests the world’s money to save lives. It attracts and disburses resources to fight three of the world’s killer diseases.
Having been formed in 2002 under special arrangements with the World Health Organisation, by December 2008 the Global Fund needed to become an independent organisation.
This move to autonomy was vital to the future ability of the Global Fund to do its work in the most efficient, flexible and appropriate way.
When Atos Consulting arrived, the Global Fund had just over seven months and an immovable deadline to take its staff out of the familiar confines of the United Nations and into a new stand-alone organisation. Delivering a programme that usually would have taken 18 months, Atos Consulting overcame cultural, logistical and technical challenges to create a new organisation, with:
- new administrative, finance, procurement, HR and technology systems and functions
- 33 new employment services
- the smooth transfer of all 420 staff.
All this was done without impacting the organisation’s ability to disburse funds.
