Why invest in the #GlobalFund?
Because investing in health is an opportunity to create a world where children can thrive. Because the Global Fund knows how to turn innovation into impact.
That's why, earlier this year, CIFF announced our $200m commitment, a five-fold increase.
Why is CIFF scaling its philanthropic giving?
Hear more from CIFF's founder, Sir Chris Hohn, on the need for philanthropy to step up and play its part.
A climate-resilient Africa means enabling every child to grow, learn, and lead in a world that is not only surviving climate change, but shaping the solutions to it. This is the long-term impact we must invest in, and the kind of future we are committed to.

“Funding isn’t just about dollars, it’s about creating space for scale,” said @ciffchild.bsky.social’s Richard Borain at #IAS2025. With long-acting PrEP emerging, CIFF is focused on delivery innovation, integration, and national systems readiness.
True security in this new era will not only come from walls or weapons, but from solidarity and inspiring leadership and trusted networks and communities that cross borders and leave no one behind."

As put by Theo Mitchell and Bernice Lee OBE in their recent LinkedIn piece: "In a world of rising authoritarianism, fractured alliances, and climate-fuelled instability, courage and collective strength are not just moral choices - they are strategic imperatives.
CIFF was honoured to be part of this moment during London Climate Action Week, with our CEO,
Kate Hampton, joining the conversation to listen and reflect alongside others. This dialogue series is an opportunity to reframe the climate crisis in human and emotional terms.
Last week, the first Global Ethical Stocktake dialogue took place. This joint initiative from @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social & António Guterres creates space to ask: If we have already agreed on what must be done to tackle the climate crisis, why aren't we doing it?

Integrating immunisation & nutrition is a game-changer. That's why we were thrilled to pledge our Gavi commitment last week, continuing our focus on integrating health, nutrition & tech ⬇️

🇹🇿 Tanzania are using the tool to help analyse government contributions and pinpoint financing gaps. This direct impact on data management and decision-making is leading to stronger #NTD interventions
🇬🇭 Ghana has achieved significant progress, having eliminated #GuineaWormDisease, #trachoma, and #SleepingSickness. They're now using the Kigali Declaration Commitment Tracker to tackle other prevalent NTDs
These are just some examples of how the tracker is empowering countries...
🇷🇼 Rwanda were the hosts of the Kigali Declaration launch & they continue to demonstrate #NTD leadership, as the first country in #Africa to enter their domestic investments into the Commitment Tracker
Since its launch in 2022, the #KigaliDeclaration on #NTDs has seen remarkable global uptake 📈 growing from 57 to 84 endorsements from countries, partners, and organisations. The Commitment Tracker is helping partners monitor progress.

We've partnered with Soccer Aid for UNICEF for a number of years, to help scale up nutrition funding and ensure more children get the chance to live healthy, happy lives.
This year, we are once again partnering and matching public donations up to £5 million in support of nutrition programming.
We are honoured to be one of the founding donors, alongside Delta Philanthropies, The ELMA Philanthropies, Gates Foundation, The Patchwork Collective, Mohamed bin Zayed Foundation for Humanity, and Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation.
Key to this initiative is working in partnership with African Ministries of Health & being led by their priorities.

At CIFF, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive lasting change in the world. We’re proud to be part of the Beginnings Fund, a unique initiative dedicated to preventing over 300k avoidable deaths & expanding access to quality care for 34mn mothers and babies in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.
We're committed to fostering a space where funders, implementers, and the private sector can collaboratively forge innovative solutions. This is about empowering African leaders to shape their narratives and drive lasting impact.
#AfricanDevelopment #LeadLocal
We recognise the complex geopolitical environment facing Africa today. But, as the powerful voices at AfricaXchange demonstrate, resilience and agency are inherent within the continent. This is our moment to move beyond traditional dialogues and into action.
True progress in African development comes from genuine partnership and a willingness to listen and learn together. That's why we co-convened the #AfricaXchange in Nairobi alongside @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
Investment in #GlobalHealth is a smart, high-impact, jobs-rich investment in stable, equitable and prosperous societies. Now is the time to double down on progress – which is why we’re pledging a further $150 million in support of the #GlobalFund ’s 8th replenishment.
Skilling is the gateway to economic independence and empowerment for women worldwide🌍
This year's #IWD2025 theme is 'Accelerate Action' and we want to champion the incredible #WomenWhoAccelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our letter to the Prime Minister expressing deep concern regarding his decision to cut ODA.
This will have a direct and devastating impact on the lives of millions. The aid budget is an important instrument for long-term stability and economic partnership. We hope the government will reconsider.
