Global Fund Faces $6.7 Billion Gap After G20 Pledging Round

Shortfalls from leading donors threaten core programs against HIV, TB, malaria.

Overview

  • The replenishment tally stands at $11.3bn of an $18bn goal for 2026–2028 after a summit alongside the G20 in South Africa.
  • The United States pledged up to $4.6bn, down from $6bn in the last round, keeping it the largest donor.
  • The UK committed £850m versus £1bn previously, while France, Japan and the European Commission did not specify amounts at the event.
  • Some governments, including Ireland and India, increased contributions as foundations and companies take a larger role.
  • Advocates warn lives are at risk without more funding, while policy experts urge cost controls, protecting the poorest countries, and exploring loans to wealthier recipients.
