Key messages from the How to Close a Funding Gap report:  

  • There is little time left to meet the 2030 targets; we are not on track, but we are not too late.  
  • The Global Fund is a crucial tool for impact and a major contributor to the fight against HIV, TB and Malaria. It must be able to do its share to meet the target and end the epidemics.  
  • In HIV we have seen heroic progress over the last 20 years, and though the last miles will be hardest, victory is within reach. 
  • In TB progress has been slower, but new tools and politics have given rise to new ambitions, which need funding. 
  • In Malaria impact and funding has been stagnating for a decade and we urgently need a change of pace. 
  • Advocates need to be clear that a flatline in contribution to the Global Fund would result in major cuts in essential programs, as there has been a lot of inflation since 2022. Anything less than US$17.1 billion would mean cuts. 
  • Meeting the 2022 targets, accounting for inflation, would require US$21.2 billion. It would allow for a change of pace and headways in implementing the new strategy. 
  • The Global Fund’s fair share of the estimated need across the three diseases would require US$28.1 billion.

The 2030 Targets: 

We’re not on track to #2030 #HIV, #TB and #Malaria targets and we’re almost out of time. To make it, we just have to fund the response #FundingGapsKill #SDG3 

The Global Fund’s Impact: 

1995: Global health crisis, #HIV, #TB, #Malaria killing millions 

2002: The world comes together to create the @GlobalFund 

2015: #SDG envision a world free of the three epidemics 
2030: Can we make it? Or will we let #FundingGapsKill 

HIV:  

We are 20 years from the global peak of HIV deaths. We could be 5 years away from no infections, and all #PLHIV on treatment. We need to fund the @GlobalFund and meet the #2030 targets, because #FundingGapsKill 

TB: 

We have new #treatments #BPaL, new diagnostics supported by #AI, more around the corner #TBVaccine. It has never been a better time to fund the @GlobalFund to #EndTB. All we need is the fund, because #FundingGapsKill.  

Malaria: 

The #Malaria response is threatened by #ClimateChange and insecticide & drug #Resistance. But most of all, it is threatened by a decade of stagnating funding and impact. Time to change gear and fund the @GlobalFund, because #FundingGapsKill 

Flatline Means Cuts: 

During the #7thReplenishment we missed the target. Now @GlobalFund programs have had to cut down critical interventions. For the #8thReplenishment, more of the same would mean further cuts. And remember: #FundingGapsKill.  

US$17.1 billion is the Bare Minimum for the 8th Replenishment: 

To maintain effort, the @GlobalFund will need at minimum to make up for #inflation since the #7thReplenishment. Anything less, and programs will be cut, and the funding gap grow. And remember: #FundingGapsKill.  

US$21.2 billion Would Maintain Ambition: 

We need a change of pace for the #8thReplenishment of the @GlobalFund, to get us closer to the #2030 targets, implement the #Strategy, and close the funding gap. Remember: #FundginGapsKill 

US$28.1 billion Would Put the Global Fund Back on Track to its Full Contribution to the SDG 2030 Targets: 

For the #8thReplenishment let us all remember the commitments made and keep them. $28.1 billion for the @GlobalFund to close the gap, meet the need, hit the target #2030.
