Contributions of WHO member states to the first WHO Investment Round

The WHO Investment Round, initiated by the "Sustainable Finance Working Group", is a new pillar to secure sustainable, predictable and flexible funding for the WHO, complementing the gradual increase in assessed contributions. Between May and November 2024, the first-ever Investment Round raised 3.8 billion USD (53% of the 7.1 billion target) from 53 member states and 16 philantrophy, private sector, or multilateral entities. Only member states and the European Union are shown here. For 2025-2028, the WHO's General Program of Work (GPW) requires 11.1 billion USD in total funding, of which 4 billion USD will come from assessed contributions. This approach aims to address critical health needs while ensuring financial sustainability and accountability.
