The Global Fund is a worldwide partnership to defeat HIV, TB and malaria and ensure a healthier, safer, more equitable future for all. The Global Fund raises and invests more than US$5 billion a year to fight the deadliest infectious diseases, challenge the injustice that fuels them, and strengthen health systems and pandemic preparedness in more than 100 of the hardest hit countries.
In 2023 the Global Fund made an unprecedented level of investments to build strong health and community systems, mitigating the impact of today's global health crises that they fund. The Global Fund plays a critical role in supporting countries and communities to advance human rights and gender equality by breaking down barriers to health and ensuring access to lifesaving care for those who need it most.
To achieve the greatest impact against the deadliest infectious diseases, the Global Fund challenges power dynamics to ensure affected communities have an equal voice in the fight against TB, HIV and malaria, and an equal chance at a healthy future. By working together, the Global Fund and its partners are getting close to achieving the goals the world once deemed impossible – ending HIV, TB and malaria as public health threats.
Results' health equity and TB campaigns have often focussed on the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, as this respected public-private partnership provides 76% of all international TB financing. Our first major success with the Global Fund was in 2008-09, when our support and government outreach was acknowledged by the Global Fund as key factors leading to Australia's participation in the Debt2Health initiative, which results in millions of dollars being directed to domestic TB programs in Indonesia.
Results has since been a leading player in the Global Fund's triennial replenishment events. Supported by our national network of volunteer advocates, and aligned civil society partners domestically and globally, we work to raise the awareness of the burden of TB in the Indo-Pacific region and encourage Australia to contribute its fair share to the Global Fund.
Since our involvement began, the Australian Government's pledges have increased from $135 million for the Second Replenishment in 2007 to $266 million for the Seventh Replenishment in 2022.
