GAFFI’s overall primary goals are to improve access to diagnostic for fungal disease liked to appropriate antifungal therapy. The approach for different conditions varies, as does the optimal laboratory approach.

To this end, GAFFI has summarised its policy for 5 topic areas:


  • Minimising deaths from AIDS due to fungal disease
  • TB-like fungal lung disease – getting the diagnosis right
  • Fungal Neglected tropical Diseases
  • Laboratory Services for Fungal Disease diagnosis
  • Antifungal resistance


Theory of Change Model

GAFFI has summarised its learnings over the last 7 years into a Theory of Change model to inform programme development and its evaluation. This model is iterative and will evolve over time.
