The Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria has allocated US$500 million to Zimbabwe for HIV and Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria programmes that will run between 2020 and 2023 period.

According to the allocations released by the Global Fund on Wednesday on its official website, Zimbabwe will be getting about US$425 million for HIV and Aids, US$24 million for Tuberculosis and US$51 million for malaria.

“World leaders came together at our Replenishment and made commitments to step up the fight to end these epidemics by 2030,” said Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund.

“Now the real work begins. Our allocations will allow partners to expand programs that work, and to find innovative solutions for new challenges. In addition to more money, we need better collaboration and more effective programs,” he said.
