An updated 2020-2025 strategy aligned with the growth of resources allocated to L’Initiative
At the 7th Replenishment Conference in New York in September 2022, the President of the French Republic announced a 23% growth in the French contribution to the Global Fund as well as an increase in the share of this contribution allocated to the Initiative to 20%, compared to 9% for the 2020-2022 triennium.
The budget of the Initiative for the three-year period 2023-2025 is therefore approximately 319 million euros.
This increase in resources is a sign of confidence, but it is also a commitment to continually improve the efficiency of Global Fund grants, by taking risks, experimenting with innovative approaches, and continuing to be a key player for the years to come.
Thus, L’Initiative assumes its rise in power by evolving its strategy.
“We must accept taking risks. Continue to support the most fragile countries.”
Anne-Claire Amprou, Ambassador for Global Health
Responding to global health challenges through strategic and operational developments
The Initiative begins the 2023-2025 triennium with a reaffirmed objective: to support and encourage the involvement and performance of an ecosystem of organizations, national authorities and committed individuals, working towards responses adapted to all populations affected by the three pandemics, in close coordination with the Global Fund.
The Initiative has demonstrated its ability to respond quickly to countries’ needs by improving their access to Global Fund financing and improving the efficiency of grant implementation. However, to meet future health challenges related to emerging diseases and climate change, its modalities of intervention must evolve.
These operational developments are characterized in particular by the creation of a modality called ” L’Accelerator “. A complementary tool to the other supports of The Initiative, it makes it possible to mobilize several intervention modalities (technical assistance, project financing, subsidies to institutions or structuring funds), with the first priority being human resources in health .
The Accelerator may also authorise interventions on neglected challenges , in a small number of countries, aimed for example at strengthening laboratories and their networks, supporting purchasing centres and regulatory authorities, particularly with a view to increasing local production of quality health products, governance and leadership, strengthening community health systems and finally contributing to the operationalisation of the strategy around sexual and reproductive health and rights in France.
The Initiative therefore intends to continue to respond to global health issues.
