Over the past few months, the World Health Organisation (“WHO”), GAVI, the International Development Association (“IDA”) and the Pandemic Fund have revealed how much money they’ll need in the next few years.

WHO wants to raise $11.1 billion, GAVI wants donors to cough up $11.9 billion, IDA wants to raise $100 billion and the Pandemic Fund wants $2 billion.

Where do they expect this money to come from?

According to Devex, while rhetorically several donors have voiced their support for WHO, GAVI, IDA and the Pandemic Fund’s work, with some already announcing funding pledges ahead of the official replenishment and investment events, others have yet to show their hand – meaning it’s unclear if and how much they will be giving.

The United States is the largest donor to global health. During its last replenishment, the US was the top donor to IDA.  The US was also the top contributor to WHO. And so far, it’s leading the charge for the replenishments of both the Pandemic Fund and GAVI, pledging $667 million and $1.58 billion to the two, respectively.

As we have seen during the covid era, the same names crop up among private funders such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome Trust.

The Rockefeller and Gates Foundations are linked.  As Wikispooks noted in 2020: “People with close connections to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft (Patty Stonesifer, Rajiv Shah) have senior positions in the Rockefeller Foundation, making the two giant foundations noticeably interwoven (or strategically infiltrated by Gates).”

Aside from private funders, the global pandemic and vaccine schemes and organisations are being funded by national governments – the money you pay in taxes is going to these organisations – with little transparency and no oversight.  As Gates is significantly involved in all these schemes it is highly possible that the money Gates is moving from one scheme to another is not his own but originates from contributions made by national governments from the taxes we pay.

It is time to demand that our governments prove to us how the money they are handing over to these supranational organisations is used and let them know that we do not want our money handed to such organisations without our explicit permission.

The Pandemic Fund

The Pandemic Fund, established in September 2022, is a World Bank partnership with a consortium of donor countries, potential implementing country governments, foundations and civil society organisations. WHO is its technical lead.

The Fund finances investments to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response at national, regional and global levels and allocated its first grants to support countries in strengthening disease surveillance and early warning, laboratory systems and health workforce.

According to its website:

The Pandemic Fund’s founding financial contributors are Australia, Canada, China, European Commission, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United States, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Wellcome Trust.

The founding donors, joined by Austria, Denmark, France, India, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, have committed over US$1.6 billion in financial contributions to date. The Pandemic Fund will continue to raise funds for its work. [Emphasis added]

The Fund wants to raise $2 billion for the implementation of its new five-year, medium-term strategic plan, which will see a large part of its resources go to countries with the largest gaps in pandemic prevention, preparedness and response capacity. It will also be crucial for the fund to continue its work, as it anticipates that it will have “exhausted” the bulk of its resources by June 2025.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

The Global Fund was launched by the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2002,  It is a public-private partnership and is a financing mechanism rather than an implementing agency. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided the seed money for the Fund. Since then, public sector contributions have constituted 95 per cent of all financing raised; the remaining 5 per cent comes from the private sector.

In 2011, AFP reported: “Revelations that 34 million euros (25 million dollars) have gone missing from community programmes in four African nations have prompted Sweden and Germany to suspend donations [to the Global Fund] until an audit is completed this year.”

The Global Fund raises funding in three-year cycles known as Replenishments. The current period, the Seventh Replenishment, covers 2023-2025. For this Replenishment, it “has only raised $15.7 billion in pledges,” Devex said.

Of the $15.7 billion pledged, $14.4 billion is from countries and $1.3 billion is from the private sector and non-governmental organisations.  You can find a link to download an Excel workbook of the ‘Pledges and Contributions Report’ HERE.

The top country donors include France which has pledged $1.6 billion and Germany $1.3 billion, in addition to $710 million pledged by the European Commission. Japan has pledged $1.1 billion and the US $6 billion.  The top donor from the private sector is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which has pledged $927 million for the years 2023-2025.

China has not pledged anything for 2023-2025.  Interestingly, for the previous period covering 2020-2022, China’s commitments were personally secured by Bill Gates and Bono.

The Fund’s website boasts that it “invests more than US$5 billion a year to defeat HIV, TB and malaria.” It collaborates with other global health organisations, such as WHO, the United Nations Children’s Fund (“UNICEF”), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (“UNAIDS”).

Whenever we see the involvement of United Nations (“UN”) agencies, we should bear in mind the UN’s ties to the Rockefeller Foundation.  The Rockefeller family has had a long-standing relationship with the UN, dating back to its inception.  After World War II, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. donated land for the UN headquarters. Technically, the UN headquarters complex in New York remains an extraterritorial site that remains beyond the jurisdictional reach of the surrounding city and state as well as the US federal government.

The Rockefeller Foundation also played an important role in the transition from the League of Nations (“LoN”) to the UN.
