We mobilise private and public initiatives in Europe in support of global health and the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. We work to publicise and encourage recognition of the objectives, actions and achievement of the Global Fund, while helping increase its resources.

Through its actions, Friends Europe mobilises political and institutional decision-makers, MPs, civil society organizations as well as the private sector and the media, to increase investments of the international community in global health and in the fight against the 3 diseases, notably through the Global Fund, with the objective to put an end to three of the most devastating pandemics affecting developing countries.
