So,
Why is it important?
The Global Fund has been critical in the fight against HIV, TB, and malaria and has helped reshape global health since its inception in 2002. Over the past two decades, it has saved 65 million lives and reduced deaths from the three diseases by 63%.
A Call to Act for Global Health
The Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment Investment Case calls for US$18 billion to drive impact at scale.
With this investment, we can save 23 million lives, avert 400 million infections, and strengthen health systems globally between 2027 and 2029, while unlocking massive economic and health gains.
In addition to specific responses to HIV, TB, and malaria, the Global Fund invests one-third of its resources into strengthening health and community systems, including support to community health workers, disease surveillance, and supply chains. These investments improve health systems resilience to future pandemics and accelerate the progress towards universal health coverage (UHC).
The Global Fund’s multi-stakeholder partnership model has been important in responding effectively to the three diseases, strengthening health and community systems, and promoting domestic financing for health in Africa.
GFAN Africa’s ‘One World, One Fight’ campaign is an urgent call to support the Global Fund. Civil society and communities across the region are calling for increased domestic resources for health and a fully-funded Global Fund to safeguard the gains made so far and save 23 million more lives.
