Denmark

Denmark is the 14th largest public donor to the Global Fund.“Denmark is among the first countries to announce our planned contribution to the Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment, maintaining a strong and sustained investment because investing in health means saving lives,” said Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen. “Denmark stands with the countries and communities most in need of support in the vital fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria – diseases that still claim far too many lives.”

Denmark has announced it will support the Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment, covering 2026-2028, through a pledge of DKK 375 million. The country pledged DKK 375 million for the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment, covering 2023-2025, a 7% increase from its previous pledge for the Sixth Replenishment, covering 2020-2022. In support of the Global Fund's COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM), Denmark pledged DKK 25 million in December 2020.

Priority Areas of the Partnership

Support to the Global Fund is aligned to Denmark's strategy for development cooperation, “The World We Share”, which aims at fighting and preventing poverty and inequality, as well as conflict, displacement and irregular migration, while strengthening resilience towards climate change.

The foundation of Denmark’s development cooperation is anchored in democratic values and human rights. In particular, promoting and protecting the rights of girls and women along with vulnerable and marginalized groups.

The right to health for all is a cornerstone of Denmark’s development policy, and the Global Fund is seen as a key partner in this regard. Denmark supports the Global Fund’s comprehensive approach, including its efforts to addressing sexual and reproductive health and rights, and more broadly, linking reproductive, maternal, new-born and child health interventions in its HIV, TB and malaria programs.

The Strategy for the Cooperation Between Denmark and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) 2024 to 2028 outlines the basis and the priorities for Denmark’s contributions to the Global Fund. It is the central platform for Denmark’s dialogue and partnership with the Global Fund, and it sets up Danish priorities for the Global Fund’s performance within the overall framework established by the Global Fund’s own strategy (2023-2028). The organization strategy also outlines specific results that Denmark will pursue in its continued cooperation with the organization.

Denmark is part of Point Seven Constituency, composed of Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, on the Global Fund Board. It held the constituency’s seat on the Board from April 2015 to June 2017. The Permanent Mission of Denmark to the United Nations in Geneva manages the relationship with the Global Fund.
