US EditionKenya: Gates Foundation Commits $912m to Global Fund, Presses Governments to Scale Lifesaving Innovations
Bill Gates matched his 2022 donation with a $912 million pledge to the Global Fund as US aid cuts threaten progress against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
- At the 2025 Goalkeepers gathering in New York, the Gates Foundation committed $912 million to support the Global Fund's efforts to combat AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria during the 2026-2028 funding cycle.
- This commitment comes in response to significant reductions in aid, primarily driven by the United States, which led to a 21% decline in global health funding from 2024 to 2025, marking the lowest level recorded in 15 years.
- Bill Gates highlighted that the world faces a critical decision, cautioning that ongoing cuts risk undoing decades of achievements that have halved child mortality rates over the past two decades, preventing millions of deaths each year.
- He emphasized that the current state of children's health globally is more serious than many understand, yet the future holds greater promise than commonly expected, and urged governments to increase efforts in delivering affordable innovations.
- Gates emphasized the importance of governments using their funds as effectively as possible and cautioned that donations from private sources cannot fully compensate for reductions in government funding, making consistent financial commitment essential to saving millions more children by 2045.
