Lady Morauta is vice chair of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and has four decades of experience in Papua New Guinea’s public and private sectors. She worked in the PNG National Planning Office and as an adviser to its Department of Finance before launching a career in community work as PNG’s First Lady in 1999 that has given her a deep knowledge of global development and health policies, as well as PNG’s economy, environment, and health systems. She began her work with the Global Fund as an alternate board member for the Western Pacific Region and then chair of the Papua New Guinea Country Coordinating Mechanism before being named vice chair in 2019, helping it raise $14 billion that year. She also has extensive experience in the private sector, from consulting to running what was PNG’s largest seafood export company. She now manages her family’s company, Jasmore Holdings.
