330 organisations call for EC pledge ahead of Global Fund board meeting

Last updated on: 03 December 2025

On November 21, donors fell short of the Global Fund’s USD 18 billion target  – a disappointing outcome at a time when increased support for HIV, TB and malaria is urgently needed.

Now, 330 organisations worldwide are urging the European Commission to confirm a €800 million pledge ahead of the February 2026 Board Meeting. This would help ensure timely funding for country programmes and unlock €400 million in US matching funds.

The Nov. 21 outcome fell short, but a stronger result is still possible –  and the European Commission and EU Member States can play a key role, in line with Europe’s leadership in global health.
