European Commission

The European Commission is the seventh largest donor to the Global Fund. The Commission and European Union member states together represent around one-third of the total funding to the Global Fund.

For the Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment, the European Commission announced its intention to pledge €700 million for the period 2026-2028, thereby maintaining the level of commitment in the range of the previous two replenishment periods. It is a testimony to the confidence the European Commission has in the effectiveness of the Global Fund in fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and building resilient and sustainable systems for health. The pledge was announced by Jozef Síkela, the European Commissioner for International Partnerships, at the One Health Summit, in Lyon, on 7 April 2026.

Beyond providing financial support, the European Commission also provides policy support to the Global Fund by actively participating in its governance as a Board Member. At country-level, EU Delegations are represented on several Country Coordinating Mechanisms – committees that manage funding requests and oversee Global Fund grants in countries where our partnership invests. Furthermore, the European Commission provides bilateral support for health in 24 countries, complementing its multilateral investments through the Global Fund.

Shared priorities

The different synergies between the Global Fund’s and the European Commission’s priorities ideally position the Global Fund as a vehicle of choice for the implementation of EU policies related to the fight against HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria; strengthening resilient and sustainable systems for health; the fight against antimicrobial resistance; market shaping and regional manufacturing of health commodities; and domestic resource mobilization and public financial management as contributors to sustainability.

The Global Fund’s mission and 2023-2028 Strategy are particularly well aligned with the Global Gateway (2021), the EU Global Health Strategy (2022), and the EU Global Health Resilience Initiative (2026).
