The Global Fund's Results Report 2021 shows the achievements of the Global Fund partnership as well as the challenges posed by COVID-19. Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund partnership has saved 44 million lives and led to a reduction by 46% in deaths from HIV, TB and malaria in the countries where it invests. The UK is the second largest donor to the sixth replenishment (2020-2022). We look forward to reviewing the Global Fund's investment case for the 7th Replenishment. This investment case, which will set out the resources needed to achieve the first stage of the Global Fund's 2023-2028 strategy, will underpin the UK's future funding commitment.
