Global and domestic HIV and TB funding challenges

Overview

Global and local health stakeholders are raising alarms regarding the sustainability of funding for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria programs.

On a global scale, the Global Fund has warned that progress is at a “critical juncture” following a significant reduction in international support. Data shows that donor government funding for HIV decreased by $2.1 billion in 2025 compared to the previous year, a 25 per cent cut. These shortages are disproportionately impacting HIV prevention, particularly for women and adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa.

In response to such vulnerabilities, health stakeholders in Nigeria are advocating for a transition from donor-dependent models to sustainable domestic financing. During a multi-stakeholder dialogue in Abuja, participants recommended utilizing Public–Private Partnerships and establishing a Youth Trust Fund to ensure the continuity of health interventions. There are also calls to integrate essential services into the National Health Insurance Authority’s benefit package to protect health gains from unpredictable external funding.
