DOHA: The Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) has signed a three-year multi-year contribution agreement with the Global Fund for $50 million.
In its statement, QFFD said that the partnership aims to end the AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria epidemics by 2030, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
The statement added the new agreement would further strengthen the partnership established in 2017 between QFFD and the Global Fund. QFFD made a contribution of $10 million for a first funding cycle.
The Global Fund’s long-standing commitment to fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics is well aligned with QFFD’s goal of promoting health as a central component for sustainable development and empowering people to lead a healthy and prosperous life.
