This year the world came together to Fight for What Counts – raising a record US$15.7 billion for the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment.
The Fight for What Counts campaign launched in February and culminated at the Seventh Replenishment Pledging Conference, hosted by President Joe Biden in the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York City.
As the year comes to an end, we revisit some of the most memorable events, inspirational people and powerful stories that resulted in a historic year for global health.
The Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria welcomed the Seventh Replenishment outcome of US$15.7 billion during a 3-day meeting this week in Geneva. This comes two months after a successful pledging conference in New York that secured pledges of over US$14.3 billion, and days after obtaining additional pledges from donors including India, Italy, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
Following the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment, the Global Fund convened a high-level roundtable entitled “Achieving Global Goals Together”. The event brought together leadership of Country Coordinating Mechanisms and Principal Recipients for an interactive dialogue on the work that we need to undertake together as a partnership to achieve global goals by 2030, using the Global Fund strategy as an enabler.
