The activities of the Friends of the Global Fund, Japan (FGFJ), are guided by a Board of Advisors consisting of leaders from all sectors of society in Japan, and it hosts a multiparty Diet Task Force. These bodies are chaired by two members of Japan’s House of Representatives: Ichiro Aisawa from the Liberal Democratic Party and Motohisa Furukawa from the Democratic Party for the People.

FGFJ is a special initiative operated by the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE). Founded in 1970, JCIE is an independent, nonprofit, and nonpartisan organization dedicated to strengthening Japan's role in international networks of policy dialogue and cooperation. JCIE undertakes a wide range of programs of policy research, international dialogue, and exchange related to the themes of globalization, governance, and civil society. It has been promoting policy studies and dialogues focused on human security issues since the late 1990s, when it launched a five-year groundbreaking dialogue program, the Intellectual Dialogue on Building Asia's Tomorrow, which helped develop the concept of human security. JCIE has been involved with HIV/AIDS initiatives in Japan since 1997, and in 2007, it launched a major project on global health and human security.
