Der Globale Fonds (GF) ist ein unverzichtbares Finanzierungsinstrument für die effektive Bekämpfung der drei großen Epidemien Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria. Zu seinen Grundprinzipien gehören die Ausrichtung auf Wirksamkeit der Präventions- und Behandlungsprogramme, die Einbindung aller wichtige...n zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteure und Communitys, der Fokus auf die Umsetzung menschenrechtsbasierter Ansätze, Country Ownership sowie transparente Entscheidungsprozesse einschließlich der Mittelvergabe. 2019 sagte Deutschland für die 6. Wiederauffüllungskonferenz für den Zeitraum bis 2022 eine Milliarde Euro zu. 2020 kamen Sonderzahlungen in Höhe von 150 Mio € für den vom GF eingerichteten Covid-19-Krisenreaktionsmechanismus (Covid-19 RM) zur Eindämmung der Pandemie hinzu, in 2021 nochmals 140 Mio. €. Der Mehrbedarf zur Bewältigung der Covid-19 Pandemie ist jedoch unabhängig vom Bedarf für die Bekämpfung von Aids, Tuberkulose und Malaria zu betrachten. Dieser Mehrbedarf darf nicht über das Kernbudget für die Programme des Globalen Fonds gedeckt werden.

To date, no work has examined the effects of assistance on health security capacity development over time. This paper presents an analysis of the time-lagged effects of assistance for health security (AHS) on levels of capacity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had unprecedented public health, economic, and social impacts on the international community, and prompted an unprecedented range and size of policy actions globally. Collective efforts, at national, regional, and global levels, were called for to contain and mitigate such ...impacts. The public health response measures alone proved to be insufficient, calling for additional socio-economic policy interventions such as ring-fencing economic activities to contain the spread of the virus. Faced with devastating socio-economic costs, all possible sources of financing, both public and private, have been explored.
