Talking Points

• The Global Fund has a long, documented track record of investment for impact in over a hundred countries.
• The Global Fund has saved over 50 million lives since its creation 20 years ago.
• Meeting the target of $18 billion for the 7th Replenishment will allow the Global Fund to save over 20 million lives in the upcoming 3 years.
• An ambitious investment of $18 billion is necessary because for the first time in 20 years, we lost ground in the fight against the three diseases – because of COVID-19.
• A third of all Global Fund investment contribute to health system strengthening and pandemic preparedness – ending the three epidemics is the best way to prepare for the next pandemic.
• The world committed to end the three diseases as epidemics by 2030 – this cannot be achieved without a significant surge in investment to put us back on track.
• The United States has committed to pledge $1 for every $2 dollar pledged by other donors –  meaning that to meet the target, we need pledges by all other donors to add up to at least $12 billion. We are not on track to meet that goal, and risk leaving money on the table.

This year, the Global Fund launched its strategic plan for the years 2023 – 2028. The Global Fund is also currently engaged in its Seventh Replenishment, raising funds for the coming three years, and aiming for at least US$18 billion in pledges.

This paper, developed by the Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN), discusses the Global Fund’s efforts and challenges to support key and marginalized populations in the response to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria (HTM). The paper sounds an alarm and describes five key challenges that need to be widely acknowledged and addressed:

1. Key and Vulnerable Populations: Key and vulnerable populations, while marginalized economically, socially, and legally, are not at the margins of epidemics, but instead are at the center of infection transmissions and loss of life due to the three diseases. For this reason, global epidemic control and achievement of the SDGs depends on key and vulnerable populations being at the center of programming by country governments and international funding partnerships such as the Global Fund.
2. Funding Gaps: Global resource mobilization targets for the three diseases, although ambitious, fall short of the calculated total resource needs to bring the three epidemics under control. Even if resource mobilization targets are met, there will be an estimated $28.4 billion funding gap. Key and vulnerable populations bear the burden of unequal resource allocations and access to services in every country, and the gap in resource mobilization will disproportionately affect those populations.
3. Reducing morbidity and mortality: Despite significant progress in most countries in reducing infections, global reports from UNAIDS and others show that we haven’t done enough in preventing new infections and that infection levels continue to soar in many communities globally.
4. COVID scarring: Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant setbacks to the progress made to date. 5. No seat at the table: While KVPs are represented on the Global Fund Board and some CCMs, they are often excluded from program and policy development, implementation, and evaluation efforts. This serves to further the inequities and ineffectiveness in service delivery and health care access

Our 2022 GFAN Global Strategy Meeting took place over three days from 31 May–2 June 2022. We brought together some 70 people from around the world to join us in person in Berlin, Germany, with 35 others participating virtually for at least part of the meeting. It was our first in-person event since 2020! 
We focused primarily on issues associated with resource mobilization for the Global Fund and the role of GFAN in supporting such efforts locally, regionally and globall for the 7th replenishment.

Open Letter

Dear Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary and representatives of the UK Government,

Ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), as over 360 civil society organisations from across the Commonwealth, we urge the UK Government to continue its strong partnership with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (Global Fund). Twenty years ago, in an act of extraordinary global leadership and partnership with many Commonwealth members, the UK Government co-founded the Global Fund. We welcome that the UK Government’s recently published International Development Strategy recognises that the Commonwealth and multilateral organisations are essential partners in achieving the UK’s goals.

The impact of Global Fund investments in the Commonwealth and beyond are profound. The Global Fund has helped to save over 44 million lives and the combined death rate from the three diseases has reduced by more than half in the countries in which the Global Fund invests in. The Global Fund provides over $4 billion in grants each year and about half of that goes to Commonwealth countries.

At the 2018 CHOGM hosted by the UK Government, leaders committed to halving malaria by 2023. Despite the Global Fund’s rapid and determined response, COVID-19 has severely impacted hard-won gains against malaria, other infectious diseases and health systems. For the first time in 20 years, malaria cases and deaths increased last year. Securing at least $18bn for the Global Fund would get us back on track and avert more than 450 million HIV, TB and malaria infections or cases. Malaria deaths will decrease by 62% and malaria will be eliminated from an additional six countries by 2026. If we are to stay true to commitments from the 2018 CHOGM, renewed UK partnership with the Global Fund will be critical.

We applaud the UK’s leadership and commitment to gender equality and women’s rights as demonstrated in the new International Development strategy. Continued high level Global Fund investment will be critical in delivering on this. Women and girls continue to be disproportionately affected by ill health as a result of AIDS, TB and malaria. For example, opportunistic infections resulting from HIV are the leading cause of death of women of reproductive age globally and around one third of all pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa suffer from malaria. The Global Fund is one of the most impactful investments that the UK Government makes in supporting women and girls. About one-third of Global Fund investments directly benefits Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). The Global Fund’s focus on gender equality and its SRHR related investments cut across disease programmes, health systems, and rights interventions. Therefore, the Global Fund is arguably the largest multilateral provider of grants to improve the health and wellbeing of girls and women in all their diversity globally. Thanks to the Global Fund’s investments, more than 85% of pregnant women living with HIV now have access to medicine to prevent transmitting HIV to their babies, and in 2020 the Global Fund supported 11.5 million pregnant women to receive preventive therapy for malaria. Getting to at least US$18 billion could enable the Global Fund partnership to reduce HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women in most affected countries by 72%. Failing to meet the Global Fund’s target of a 30% increase to contributions from the Sixth Replenishment will jeopardise any gains made and will have devastating impacts for women and girls the world over.

The Global Fund also delivers impact in challenging operating environments. Countries facing conflict or other crises receive about one third of Global Fund investments. This work is all the more important in the face of a crisis, like Tropical Cyclone Ana in Malawi and Mozambique; and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Prior to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the Global Fund had invested $850m in the country, where HIV and TB rates – particularly multidrug-resistant TB – are some of the highest in Europe. Global Fund investments have helped to reduce new HIV infections to around a third of the number in 2002, and almost halved the number of people living with TB. Additional funding was mobilised in less than a week by the Global Fund to ensure that, through the course of the war, people living with HIV and TB are still able to receive the essential services and treatment to reduce the spread of infectious diseases across the region.

As the past two years have shown, we need to build stronger and more resilient health systems to fight future pandemics. The Global Fund currently invests $1.5bn a year in strengthening health and community systems and pandemic preparedness. The Global Fund plans to increase this to $2bn over the period of 2023-26. This will enable the Fund to support countries to build more effective health systems that are better able to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats.

Given the Global Fund’s critical role in reducing disease incidence, building health systems and strengthening systems to respond to pandemics, these investments are key in advancing Commonwealth countries’ economic development and trading partnerships. Every dollar invested for the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment will result approximately in US$31 in health gains and economic returns.

The target for the Seventh Replenishment for at least US$18 billion will get the world back on track towards ending AIDS, TB and malaria, strengthen health and community systems, and prepare for future pandemics. To meet this goal and save a further 20 million lives, the Global Fund is asking all donors to increase their pledges in national currency by 30%. Across the Commonwealth, Governments are stepping up their commitments to the Global Fund. The United States (U.S.) has pledged US$6 billion but each $1 from the United States must be matched with $2 from other donors. Every £100 million short of this $18bn goal would leave £50 million of U.S. funding on the table.

A 30% increase to the UK’s contribution at the Sixth Replenishment equates to approximately an additional £140 million per year from current investments. This investment would help to save 2.6 million lives between 2024 and 2026 and avert more than 59 million infections or cases. We urge the UK Government to step up to Fight For What Counts, and stand with its Commonwealth allies in the fight to end epidemics.

Yours sincerely,

Global Fund Advocates Network, with support from:

The Global Fund’s 47^th Board meeting took place from the 10^th to the 12^th of May 2022. GFAN has summarized the key discussions that took place – you can read the resulting report here.

You can find some of the documents submitted to the Board by the Secretariat here (you need to click on the + sign under Board Meeting Documents to see the full list).

A de-brief call from the Board Meeting was held with the Communities and 2 NGO Delegations on May 25^th and you can access the recording and materials from that call here.

During the next Board Meeting, the board will take a decision regarding how Catalytic Investments will be allocated in the next implementation cycle (2024-2026). Catalytic Investment, alongside country allocations, is a critical component of the implementation of the new 2023-2028 Strategy. Many community-led, human right and gender transformative interventions that are championed by civil society and communities fall under the priorities for catalytic funding. GFAN members are therefore deeply interested in the outcome of these discussions.

We hope that the board will hear and consider the following points ahead of its decision on Catalytic Investments:

• Catalytic Investments allow the Global Fund to fill essential gaps left by country grants, finance multi-country initiatives and advocacy efforts that are essential to the continuing lifting of barrier of access to care and prevention. It is important that enough funds are made available through catalytic funding for it to have systemic effects. We urge the board not to set too low a cap for Catalytic Investments.
• Catalytic Funding has been used in past cycles to fund Community System Strengthening programs and human right and gender programs, which are core to two of the Contributory Objectives under the 2023-2028 Strategy – ‘Maximizing the Engagement and Leadership of Most Affected Communities to Leave No One Behind’ & ‘Maximizing Health Equity, Gender Equality and Human Rights’. We urge the board to ensure that the central importance given to these objectives in the strategy is reflected in the Catalytic Investments priorities.
• The revised disease split approved during the 46^th Board Meeting did not meet the expectations of TB communities and civil societies. A drastic increase in funding is required to address the crisis facing communities affected by TB, a crisis reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic. We urge the board to ensure that TB be given the highest priority for Catalytic Investments.
• A particular challenge faced by TB Communities has been the lack of robust and empowered ground-level community networks. The establishment and strengthening of these networks in all Global Fund countries implementing TB grants should be explicitly prioritized among Catalytic Investments priorities, to ensure that the voices of TB affected communities are elevated throughout the implementation cycle.

Germany has been a strong supporter of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) since its founding 20 years ago. Over that period, the Global Fund has saved 44 million lives, and Germany has contributed more than € 3.9 billion, making it its fourth largest donor. In 2019, for the Sixth Replenishment, Germany pledged € 1 billion, and later an additional € 290 million to fund the COVID-19 Response Mechanism of the Global Fund, which ensured that resources would be supplemented and where necessary redeployed to continue to deliver high-quality HIV, tuberculosis and malaria programs despite the disruptions caused by COVID-19.

Germany plays a pivotal role in shaping Global Fund policies, through its seat on the Global Fund’s Board and role on its Strategy Committee, in particular with regard to the building of resilient and sustainable systems for health, and improving health outcomes for women and girls. Within several weeks of the attack on Ukraine by Russia, the Global Fund Board was able to review and approve a plan to ensure that services for HIV and tuberculosis could continue to operate in the country and could follow Ukrainians fleeing the war.

Global health advocates know Germany as a leading voice in global health and development, initiating important conversations and action on global health security, health systems strengthening and antimicrobial resistance. Germany has endorsed the need to reduce inequalities in accessing health care and overcoming human rights and gender-related barriers in a number of forums where affected communities and civil society are key partners, including the Global Fund.

The Global Fund has grown over the past 20 years into the largest multilateral funder of health, thanks to its unique partnership approach, its comprehensive engagement of communities most affected by the three diseases, and its country-led funding model. It is responsive, adaptable, highly effective, and has a long record of deploying disease-fighting interventions at scale. Its inclusive governance, commitment to human rights, support for evidence-based interventions, local ownership and decades of experience engaging and working with the most marginalized and excluded communities have reinvigorated the responses to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, and fostered pandemic preparedness and response.

The Global Fund operates in 3-years funding cycles. In 2019, it raised a record US$ 14 billion for its Sixth Replenishment. In 2022, with the world still dealing with COVID-19, the Global Fund estimated in its Investment Case that at least US$ 18 billion would be needed to recover the ground lost during the pandemic to accelerate and put us back on track towards the elimination of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics by 2030. To meet this financial target, a minimum 30% increase is needed of all Global Fund donors. The United States, as host of the Seventh Replenishment Pledging Conference, has indicated its willingness to pledge US$ 6 billion, but in order to be made available this funding must be matched two to one by other donors.

As the host of the upcoming G7 Summit, Germany is in a unique position to influence the outcomes of the Seventh Replenishment. The Elmau Summit will come at a pivotal moment ahead of the Pledging Conference, scheduled for September. The members of the G7 have accounted for over 80% of the Global Fund’s resources to date, and a show of leadership from the G7 Presidency during the summit will be instrumental for the Replenishment to hit its target.

The Global Fund has a pivotal role to play in not only ending HIV, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics, but also in the response against COVID-19 and the preparation for future pandemics. The Global Fund already invests over US$ 1 billion every year in building resilient systems for health, and these investments have already made their mark. Experience from years of HIV genetic sequencing in several countries in southern Africa was key to raise the alarm on the rise of the Omicron variant. Across countries benefiting from Global Fund grants, HIV, tuberculosis and malaria health workers pivoted in 2020 to respond to COVID-19, and supported health systems to better resist the influx of patients, and detect upcoming waves early. Investing in health systems that ensure equitable access to quality prevention and care is our best insurance policy against novel pandemics, and will be the key to ending the world’s most lethal infectious diseases.

We, the undersigned global health advocates, ask the German government:

• to increase by 30% the pledge it made at the Sixth Replenishment Conference in Lyon, to bring it to € 1.3 billion in 2022. This is not an unreasonable ask – given Germany’s contribution to the COVID-19 Response Mechanism, it does not represent an increase from its total contribution over 2020-2022; and
• to create momentum among G7 members by using the summit as a platform to announce its pledge, and uphold the group’s commitment to building a more equitable world.

Civil Society wants a more equitable and transparent pandemic preparedness and response, and wants to see the Global Fund, uniquely placed to scale up the investments required for pandemic preparedness and with a long record of impact, transparency and commitment to leaving no one behind. 

Building on the momentum created after the first COVID-19 Summit in September 2021 the United States is convening a second COVID-19 Summit in May 2022, co-hosted by Belize, Germany, Indonesia and Senegal.

This second summit takes place as the world still grapples with the impact of the pandemic. The shifting of resources towards fighting COVID-19 and the pandemic’s impact on health systems since 2020 has also led to increases in infections and deaths from other diseases, in particular HIV, TB and Malaria. The world needs to adapt, to build the foundations to a renewed pandemic preparedness and response architecture and make ambitious commitments for its funding. We need to ensure that the COVID-19 response benefits the fight against others diseases and the strengthening of national health systems. The continuing emergence of new variants and the ongoing gap in access to COVID-19 tools like vaccines, and importantly also diagnostics, protective equipment and treatments alongside drops in testing levels globally is, paradoxically, allowing the pandemic to continue destroying lives and damaging livelihoods just as we finally have many of the tools we need to end COVID-19.

We continue to support increased efforts and investments in both the urgent needs to end the pandemic globally and building the capacities to respond to any future pandemics. We believe that the on-going challenges of the COVID-19 response and pandemic preparedness will be best met by institutions with a record of successful global investment in health systems. While not the only actor, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is well-situated to scale up the investments required for pandemic preparedness. The Global Fund has become since its creation the largest multilateral funding mechanism for global health. It has proven agile and capable to rapidly scale up its operations to meet the challenges of pandemic control – and it is time to replenish the Fund so that it can put progress on AIDS, TB and malaria back on track and extend resilience against pandemics.

The course taken by the COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced what we in the Global Fund community have known for years: that pandemic response can only succeed if it is equitable, committed to the respect of human-rights, and inclusive in its governance. The Global Fund has significant experience and expertise to be able to deliver on this vision, both to respond to the infectious disease pandemics we have and to be ready for any future pandemics. In order to do so, it must be properly funded.

Therefore, the undersigned Civil Society and Health Advocates call on the governments of the United States, Belize, Germany, Indonesia, and Senegal as co-hosts of the upcoming Second COVID-19 World Summit, to:

1. Ensure that discussions meaningfully involve civil society and affected communities;
2. Consider channeling significant resources committed to pandemic preparedness and response through existing institutions like the Global Fund with a proven track record of impact rather than focusing scarce resources to a newly-formed entity;
3. Highlight the critical importance of meeting the challenge of the 7th Replenishment of the Global Fund to raise at least $18 billion in September 2022 to ensure that the gains made over the last 20 years of impact are not reversed because of a lack of political commitment to meet existing and future health challenges.

This Advocacy Briefing is intended for Civil Society and Community advocates to present some of the key elements of the Investment Case, the challenges and opportunities it presents, and put in context its fundraising target. It is meant to support efforts by all Global Fund partners to mobilise donor funding commitment ahead of the 2022 Pledging Conference hosted by the United States.

This report provides an overview of discussions during three calls organized by the Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN) held shortly before and after the Global Fund’s 7th Replenishment preparatory meeting on 23–24 February.

The first two calls, on 15 and 22 February, were co-organized by the GFAN Secretariat, GFAN Asia Pacific, GFAN Africa and GFAN Afrique Francophone. They focused on discussing key points and issues to include in a civil society statement on the Global Fund’s investment case and highlighting some priority actions and events for civil society engagement in support of the replenishment. The investment case is the document in which the Global Fund reveals how much money it hopes to raise and presents its argument for why all or more of those funds should be made available.

The third call, on 25 February, provided a forum for GFAN members to listen to Global Fund Secretariat staff introduce and summarize the investment case, which was formally released on 23 February, and to ask questions and make remarks in response. A recording of this call can be found here.
