Since the establishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in 2002, clost to 50 countries as well as private foundations, corporations and individuals have pledged significant resources (XLS - 97 KB) to support its work.

However, a system of ad hoc contributions makes it difficult to plan the work of the Global Fund and to provide sustained and predictable support for the many programs that are getting underway in 140 countries.

As a result, the Board of the Global Fund decided to reform the ad hoc system and to introduce a funding model based on periodic replenishments.

Based on models of existing replenishment mechanisms, the primary purpose of the voluntary replenishment process is to increase the predictability of the Global Fund’s resource mobilization efforts.

The replenishment provides a means for donors to exchange views on the operations and effectiveness of the Global Fund, consider its funding needs and arrive at a consensus on contributions.

From 2005 to 2008, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and former World Bank Director Sven Sandstrøm respectively were Chair and Vice-Chair of the Replenishment. Sven Sandstrøm was Chair of the 2009 Mid-Term Review Meeting of the Second Replenishment.
