Sign the petition to demand that the Global Fund fixes its discriminatory disease split.
Tuberculosis (TB) has long been the world’s deadliest infectious disease, killing 1.3 million people every year, including 214,000 children. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is the world’s largest source of international funding in the fight against TB, particularly for low- and middle-income countries where the most TB deaths occur. Despite TB killing more people annually than AIDS and malaria put together, it receives only 18% of the total funding provided by the Global Fund, compared to 50% for AIDS and 32% for malaria. The Global Fund Board is preparing to make a critical decision at its next Board meeting on 19-22 November on its ‘global disease split’ methodology for determining the share of funding between the three diseases that will be in place for the period 2027-2029.
Join the TB Community petition calling on the Global Fund Board and Secretariat to give up their biased, unfair and discriminatory disease split and adopt equal distribution of funds across the three diseases, thus increasing TB’s share to reach 33%.
