Japan

ABSTRACT The Global Fund acknowledges Japan’s leadership in international health through the country’s strong support to the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment efforts.

ABSTRACT The G7 countries, the world’s most advanced economies – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States – are the Global Fund’s largest donors, and their contributions account for approximately 79% of all the funds raised by the Global Fund thus far. Their contributions have increased steadily since the Global Fund’s inception. So far, five of the seven countries – Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom – have announced their pledges for the 2020-2022 replenishment cycle, most of which have increased by about 15% relative to the last replenishment.

ABSTRACT Gearing up for the Sixth Replenishment, the Global Fund has published new government donor profiles on its website. The Fund also welcomed a large contribution from Japan, bringing that country close to fulfilling its $800-million pledge for the Fifth Replenishment.

ABSTRACT The Board’s Implementer Group called on donors to follow the example of Japan and contribute funding for the people of Venezuela through an existing funding mechanism – the Strategic Fund managed by the Pan American Health Organization. The group also called on the Global Fund to continue to explore concrete mechanisms to support efforts to address this unprecedented health crisis, and to develop a more proactive and effective approach to countries in crisis.

ABSTRACT Japan announced a pledge of $800 million for the Fifth Replenishment, equal to what it pledged for the Fourth Replenishment. New Zealand has pledged for the first time since 2008-2010. This article provides a round-up of recent replenishment developments.

ABSTRACT France, Japan, Canada, Norway and China have announced how much they plan to donate to the Global Fund for the three-year period 2011-2013.

ABSTRACT The three NGO board members of the Global Fund, backed by a coalition of NGOs in Europe, North America and Japan, today launched a Call for Action regarding Global Fund financing. They explained that donor governments, at their Replenishment Meeting on September 5-6 in London, are likely to pledge far less money to the Global Fund than the Fund says it requires.

ABSTRACT Over 300 organizations in 67 countries have signed the International Appeal for Full Funding of the Global Fund. The Appeal was launched two weeks ago by the three NGO board members of the Global Fund, backed by a coalition of NGOs in Europe, North America and Japan.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund has launched a campaign to raise awareness about the Fund. It includes a video that conceptually illustrates disease being confronted by the Global Fund. It does this by showing a street-fighting bully who is eventually knocked flat by an even bigger fighter.
