Simon Collins, HIV i-Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 21 November 2025 the Global Fund announced that $11.3 billion was pledged at the replenishment summit co-hosted by the South African and the UK governments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a significant achievement given the current uncertainty over international health funding. It gives a clear signal that HIV, TB and malaria are still seen as a priority, though this was $3 billion less than achieved in 2022.<\/p>\n

The Summit was attended by five heads of state and government, with representatives from more than 30 countries, together with multilateral partners, philanthropic, business, civil society and community organisations.<\/p>\n

The pledges by many donors below are still subject to legislative approval and administrative procedure. Other public pledges are anticipated and being formalised.<\/p>\n

    comments<\/h3>\n

    The good news is that given the international funding crisis this year, these results could easily have been worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The total, however, is US$7 billion short of the US$18 billion target that the Global Fund estimated was needed in order to reach 2030 targets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The results table above didn’t include changes in government support from their previous pledges three years ago for the seventh round. So even though the UK was co-sponsoring the eighth replenishment, it reduced its donation for this round by \u00a3150 million. Co-sponsor South Africa doubled its contribution from US$13 million to US$26 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As the largest government donor, the US reduced support for this round to US$4.6 billion from US$6 billion in the seventh round. However, the recently published America First global health strategy only commits to honouring $1 billion of the pledge to the Global Fund and rapidly stopping the remaining $3.6 billion that it calls fraudulent waste.

    Pledges for the Seventh Replenishment Conference in 2022 were US$14.25 billion from 49 countries.<\/strong><\/div>\n
