Thank You Letter: EU's Extraordinary Contribution to the Global Fund
Thank You Letter: EU's Extraordinary Contribution to the Global Fund
We, communities and civil society organisations from all over the world, have been calling on world leaders to take a bold action to get the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria back on track, save millions of lives, build resilient and sustainable systems for health and strengthen pandemic preparedness.
In February 2022, the Global Fund requested an extraordinary demonstration of global solidarity through its most ambitious investment case to date: $18 billion. Today, we are writing to sincerely thank you for responding to this historic challenge with historic leadership, and announcing an incredible contribution of €715 million to the Global Fund for the next 3 years. We are particularly grateful that you, and the College of Commissioners, responded to the Fund’s call and our recommendations, and increased the EU’s contribution by 30%. Thank you for your outstanding leadership and commitment.
With this letter, 340 civil society and community-led organisations, working with thousands of people worldwide, express their appreciation for the European Union's support to the Global Fund.
