Byanyima said the Central African Republic, Eswatini, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zimbabwe all made contributions to the Global Fund despite facing huge fiscal challenges, exacerbated by the current global crisis.

“I am truly humbled to see so many developing countries that are themselves facing multiple crises, and yet still made increased pledges to the Global Fund,” said the UNAIDS Executive Director.
