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.
• 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.
