Established with broad support from the international community in September 2022, and drawing on lessons learned from COVID-19 and past outbreaks, the Pandemic Fund is a first-of-its-kind multilateral financing platform dedicated to investing in critical pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response capacities in low- and middle-income countries. The Pandemic Fund has moved quickly to deliver financing to where it is most needed, with a strong focus on equity and inclusivity. With seed funding of US$2 billion from 27 contributors, the Fund awarded its first round of grants in 2023 to projects that strengthen capacity, both within and across borders. The second round will be awarded very soon.

The Global Fund is a worldwide movement to defeat HIV, TB and malaria and ensure a healthier, safer, more equitable future for all. The Global Fund raises and invests US$5 billion a year to fight the deadliest infectious diseases, challenge the injustice which fuels them and strengthen health systems in more than 100 of the hardest hit countries.

The hallmark of AHF’s success is generating and defining new, innovative ways to provide HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention, and advocacy. AHF has embarked on a mass testing initiative to identify and treat the 25 million people worldwide who don’t know they are infected. It will take 1 billion tests annually to achieve this goal. AHF is advocating for mass testing models in hopes of eliminating older, more time-consuming methods. Since 1987, AHF has cared for thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. As AHF creates and implements its unparalleled programs in new communities in the U.S. and abroad, they expand delivery of healthcare and influence over policy with the sole aim of saving more lives.
