Overview
- Cindy Termorshuizen announced the commitment in Johannesburg during the Global Fund’s eighth replenishment discussions alongside the G20.
- Global Affairs Canada set the pledge at $1.02 billion over three years, with the funding window specified as 2026 to 2028.
- The new amount is $190 million below Canada’s 2022 pledge of $1.21 billion over three years.

- Germany and the United Kingdom have also reduced support, and the United States has not yet announced a contribution, increasing pressure on the replenishment effort.
