The COVID-19 Response Mechanism authorizes funding of up to US$500 million and comes in addition to the grant flexibilities previously announced by the Global Fund.
With an initial allocation of US$500 million, the COVID-19 Response Mechanism will leverage the principle of country ownership and allow countries to request funding for control and containment, to mitigate the impact on HIV, TB and malaria and to support systems for health, including laboratory networks, supply chains, and community-led response. Details on the mechanism will be announced later. Learn more>
