    Conference call: What happened at the Global Fund replenishment?

    After a flurry of last-minute commitments, the Global Fund narrowly surpassed its $14 billion target. Devex journalists dive into how the replenishment conference in Lyon unfolded — and what it means for the future of global health financing.

    By Devex Editor // 14 October 2019
    The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria claimed a last-minute victory at its sixth replenishment conference this week in Lyon, France. The fund announced a final replenishment total of $14.02 billion in pledges and commitments across the public and private sector — narrowly surpassing its $14 billion target. Devex Senior Reporter Michael Igoe spoke to Brussels correspondent Vince Chadwick — in attendance at the conference — and Senior Reporter Jenny Lei Ravelo for an inside look at how the replenishment goal was met, and what the fund’s success means for the future of global health financing. Highlights from this Global Fund conference call include: • Insider observations from the “intense” final hours of the conference — including exclusive commentary from the fund’s executive director, Peter Sands, on the final push by key players such as Bono, Bill Gates, and host country president Emmanuel Macron. • A breakdown of the allocation process set for December of this year, and what we might expect across recipient countries and targeted diseases. • How the successes and challenges of this replenishment process set a precedent for future rounds of global health financing — from Gavi’s pledging conference in 2020 to the estimated $101 billion needed over the next three years to tackle HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB.
