Michel Kazatchkine resigns as Executive Director of the Global Fund
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria’s Executive Director, Michel Kazatchkine, has decided to step down in mid-March after leading the organization for five years.
The Global Fund announced this week that it will appoint Gabriel Jaramillo as General Manager, a newly created position intended to oversee a process of transformation as it accelerates the fight against the three pandemics by focusing on its management of risk and grants.
Prof. Kazatchkine said that while he respects the Board’s decision to appoint a General Manager and “trusts that it was made in the best interests of the Global Fund”, he has concluded that he should not continue as Executive Director in these circumstances.
Read both press releases:
- the decision by Michel Kazatchkine to resign as Executive Director
- the appointment of a new General Manager
