France pledges 1.08 billion euros to Global Fund

27 June 2016

The government of France announced on Sunday it will contribute 1.08 billion euros ($1.20 billion) to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for the three-year period beginning in 2017, demonstrating strong leadership in global health.

France is the second leading donor to the Global Fund, and has consistently played a pioneering role in scientific research, promoting human rights and serving people affected by HIV. The new pledge, which represents a sustained commitment of France’s previous support, represents a significant contribution to the Global Fund’s three-year replenishment.

“This contribution demonstrates the strong commitment of France in the fight against pandemics and to strengthen health systems, especially in African countries,” the announcement said.
