Call for Applications: Global Fund Youth Council 2026

The Global Fund Youth Council is a vital body that ensures the voices of young people are included in global health decision-making. Composed of dynamic youth leaders from around the world, the Council advises the Global Fund's Board and key committees on policies, strategies, and investments related to HIV, TB, and malaria. This is not just an advisory role; it is a direct channel for you to influence how millions of dollars are spent on health programs, making sure they are youth-friendly and effective.

A position on the Youth Council involves participating in high-level discussions, analyzing policy documents, and representing the needs of young people from your region. The work is challenging but incredibly rewarding, offering an unparalleled opportunity to develop leadership, advocacy, and communication skills on a global scale. Your contributions will help shape a future where health systems are more responsive to the needs of youth, preventing and treating diseases that disproportionately affect our generation.

Through our platform, CAGEAD will provide a direct link to the official application, along with guidance on how to craft a strong application. We will offer workshops on how to highlight your experiences and articulate your vision for global health. We are committed to preparing you for this important opportunity, ensuring that young Cameroonian leaders have the best possible chance to take their place on the global stage.
