Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: Funding Meeting

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria held the Second Meeting of the Third Voluntary Replenishment (2011-2013) in New York, 4-5 October 2010. Donors announced funding of US$11.7 billion for the years 2011-2013, representing “the largest ever financial pledge for the collective, international effort to fight the three pandemics.” The new funding compares with US$9.7 billion committed to the Global Fund in Berlin in September 2007 for the period 2008-2010. The meeting reviewed “follow up work undertaken in response to a range of issues raised by participants in The Hague, and discussed the current reform program being implemented by the Global Fund Secretariat, and considered future resource projections for the next three years.” With sufficient funding for the Replenishment the Global Fund, (the Fund) said it “could be in a position to: eradicate malaria as a public health concern in most malaria endemic countries; virtually eliminate the transmission of HIV from mother to child; contain the threat of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis; prevent millions of avoidable deaths from AIDS; and contribute to significant reductions in maternal and child mortality.”
