The Global Fund (GF) estimates that in order to reach universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care by 2010 and achieve the MDG for AIDS, TB and malaria by 2015, it will need up to US$11 billion per year by 2010 – over a five-fold increase from current spending. This assumes a steady scaling up of resources starting with US$3 billion in 2006, US$5billion in 2007 and US$7, 9 and 11 billion for 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. US$11 billion is the GF’s share of the total annual resource needs of US$23 billion for HIV/AIDS, US$4.5 billion for TB and US$3.7 billion for malaria by 2010. Significant scale-up in GF resources will need to be financed primarily by donor countries. This report card grades major donor countries based on their current pledges for 2006 and 2007 compared to their corresponding fair shares.
