Fourteen African countries, key partners, unite to secure critical health resources in first round of WHO investment
In an unprecedented show of unity in support of the World Health Organization, 14 African countries and many partners have pledged more than US$45 million to the World Health Organization's Investment Round, a three-month-old initiative aimed at creating sustainable funding for the organization at the center of the global health architecture. The commitments were made during the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Africa, where heads of state and government from across the continent emphasized the importance of investing in global health and ensuring a strong WHO.
“I thank the Member States of our African region for actively supporting the first round of WHO investment to mobilize the predictable and flexible resources needed for our core work over the next four years,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Full, sustainable funding will enable WHO to better support countries in their work to build healthier, more resilient and prosperous populations.”
Countries and partners gathered for a historic event aimed at sustainably funding WHO and enabling it to more effectively fulfill its mandate and advance key goals to promote, ensure and protect health and well-being for all. Countries include Botswana, Cabo Verde, Chad, Congo, Ethiopia, Gambia, Mauritius, Namibia, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa and the United Republic of Tanzania.
Many partners have joined member states in pledging their support to the WHO and making pledges later in the year, including the Helmsley Charitable Trust, the World Diabetes Foundation, Roche, the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the African Development bank and the WHO Foundation.
“A strong, predictable and sustainably funded WHO is essential for our region and the world to address the multiple health threats we face; and support disease prevention based on the vast evidence available to us,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa. “Every promise and every partnership counts. Together, we can achieve a future where health and well-being are accessible to all.”
The WHO investment round will continue in the coming months and will feature key moments of pledges around the world. Learn more about the WHO Investment Round.
Launched at the World Health Assembly in May 2024, the investment round aims to generate contributions that are flexible and therefore aligned with the WHO strategy endorsed by its Member States; provided at the beginning of the four-year budget cycle to enable strategic decisions to be made; and resilient insofar as they will come from a larger, more diverse pool of donors.
