Organizations working to combat the diseases say the shortfalls will continue to set back lifesaving campaigns. Under its allocation plans, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria , headquartered in Geneva, will allocate malaria programmes 50% of the funds up to $12 billion, and HIV/AIDS programmes 32%. The remaining $2 billion for TB is divided slightly differently — these programmes will receive the remaining 18% of funds up to $12 billion, and 25% above that.
Among the other funders, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation increased its contribution by 20%, to $912 million; South Korea has quadrupled its share to $100 million. Kenya has also increased its contribution, to $10 million. The World Health Organization says that the number people who received a TB diagnosis fell from 7.1 million in 2019 to 5.8 million in 2020. TB deaths, meanwhile, increased from 1.2 million among people without HIV in 2019 to 1.3 million in 2020.
