Sweden

Sweden is the eighth largest public donor to the Global Fund partnership, with contributions totaling SEK 15.89 billion to date. It is the second most generous donor on a per capita basis (cumulative funding) and was among the first to support the Global Fund. The country also currently holds the Board seat for the Point Seven donor constituency.

Sweden has reaffirmed its strong support to the Global Fund by confirming a contribution of SEK 683 million in 2026 as its first commitment toward the Eighth Replenishment period (2026-2028). This is a sustained level consistent with its 2025 contribution.

Priority Areas of the Partnership

Health is a thematic priority of Sweden’s new reform agenda for development assistance. Sweden prioritizes health promotion and preventive health programs, gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), sustainable health care systems and early warning systems for communicable diseases.

The Swedish government is an active supporter and partner to the Global Fund through the P7 constituency. Sweden played an integral part in shaping the Global Fund strategy for 2023–2028, “Fighting Pandemics and Building a Healthier and More Equitable World”. The strategy entails cooperation on achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, equal health, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. The shared objective is to stop the three diseases as public health threats, contribute to more sustainable health systems in countries and ensure that all people enjoy their basic human rights and gender equality.

The Global Fund plays an important strategic role in realizing Sweden's new reform agenda for development cooperation. Through public-private partnership and focus on transparency and efficiency, poverty alleviation, SRHR and national health system strengthening, the Global Fund’s work is a key player in achieving the goal of improving health for the most vulnerable.
