Leveraging AI for Efficient, Resilient Supply Chains in Global Health

Join us on December 16 for “Leveraging  AI for Efficient, Resilient Supply Chains in Global Health” — a private dialogue between Friends of the Global Fight‘s Private Sector Advisory Council, the Bay Area Global Health Alliance, and the Global Fund Secretariat management on the potential of Global Fund’s use of AI in supply chains.

The Global Fund is accelerating efforts to incorporate AI into its own operations and partners’ work in implementing countries. In a line of informal dialogues hosted by Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria between its Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) and Global Fund Secretariat leaders on leveraging private sector competencies and practices, it will co-host, with the Bay Area Global Health Alliance a 75-minute virtual meeting on “Leveraging AI for Efficient, Resilient Supply Chains in Global Health.” The dialogue is designed to (1) build on momentum of the SPARK initiative event in Nairobi in early October examining 10 innovators in 5 countries, and (2) engage the thinking in the Secretariat management about the ripe moment to leverage AI in supply chains and beyond.

The session will include senior representatives of the Global Fund’s Supply, Information Technology, and Private Sector teams; as well as relevant members of PSAC and the Alliance, including Pendulum, Nexleaf Analytics, and AtlasAI.  After some initial brief observations and illustrations from the Global Fund and drivers of private sector innovation, Friends’ Mark Lagon and the Alliance will moderate a discussion of specific opportunities to leverage AI, the way forward from Spark for Global Fund, and lessons from supply chains for emphasis of AI more generally in Global Fund operations and grantmaking.
