Description

The Global Fund is a partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector, and people to collectively fight and end the risk of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria.

Use of Funds

Funds support HIV prevention; treatment of HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria; identifying missing TB cases; diagnostics; healthcare worker training; and building resilient and sustainable health systems.

Justification

  • Since 2002, in countries where the Global Fund invests, the Global Fund has helped save more than 44 million lives and cut HIV, TB, and malaria deaths by nearly half.
  • In 2020, the Global Fund provided 21.9 million people with antiretroviral therapy for HIV, treated 4.7 million people with TB, and distributed 188 million mosquito nets to help prevent malaria.
  • Every week in Eastern and Southern Africa, 5,000 adolescent girls and young women are infected with HIV.
  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, 11% fewer people were reached with HIV prevention programs than were in 2019. HIV tests taken also declined by 22% during this time.
