Accelerating the end of AIDS, TB, The Results Report 2019 shows great progress against some
malaria as epidemics of the biggest challenges in the fight against the three
diseases achieved in countries where the Global Fund
invested:
❑ 18.9 million people received antiretroviral therapy for HIV.
❑ 719,000 HIV-positive mothers received medicine to keep
them alive and prevent transmitting HIV to their babies.
❑ 5.3 million people tested and treated for TB.
❑ 131 million mosquito nets distributed to protect families
from malaria. In Rwanda in east Africa, the Global Fund
has supported the expansion of community health
insurance coverage for 3.3 million people on low incomes,
including approximately 300 000 people living with
HIV/AIDS and 150 000 orphans. About one-third of
expenditures supported by the Global Fund are already
devoted to upgrading health-care infrastructures and to
training and capacity building for health-care personnel.
Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI)
Innovation for Uptake, Scale and Since 2016, GAVI has immunized nearly 200 million children
Equity in Immunization (INFUSE) and are ahead of reaching 300 million children by 2020. The
breadth of protection has increased, by 10 percentage points
in the last year alone and 21 percentage points since the
beginning of the strategy period. Since its inception in 2000,
Gavi supported immunization programmed in Africa have
helped avert 7.5 million deaths. Over 250 million children
were immunized with pentavalent vaccine (diphtheria,
tetanus, pertussis, Hep B and Hib) since 2000.
Since inception, nearly 130 million children were immunized
with pneumococcal vaccine against the leading cause of
pneumonia. Nearly 78 million children were immunized since
2000 with rotavirus vaccine against the leading cause of
severe diarrhea. Over 3.1 million girls in Africa have been
immunized against human papillomavirus (HPV), which is
the main cause of cervical cancer
World Health Organization (WHO)

Cities developed countries (i.e. Canada, USA, Australia, many
European nations).

Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC) deaths were averted because of strong implementation of
demand reduction measures adopted by countries between
2007 and 2014.
In Kenya since 2013, there has been 20% increase in

Tobacco tax revenues due to new regulations. Between 2001
and 2007, the proportion of currently smoking students who
wanted to stop smoking increased.
The budget for health in the Philippines has increased,

particularly for universal health care after raising the tax

United Nations Development Program (UNDP)
UNDP Strategic Plan Global poverty has fallen from 35 per cent in 1990 to under
10 per cent in 2016, reducing the number of poor people in
the world by over 1 billion.
Panama achieved high-income status in 2018, leading to a

decline in core regular resources from UNDP
Malaysia’s commitment to women’s rights and gender

equality has developed over time in both the domestic and
international arenas. The country effectively responded to
human development challenges and reduced inequalities
with the help of UNDP.
United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF)
Digital Health Initiative (DHI) UNICEF has harnessed the power of ICT to support countries
to ensure that every child survives and thrives. Around the
world, 85.8 million mothers, community health workers,
vaccinators, and health facility staff in 18 countries have
benefited from digital health platforms and the communities
they connect to the health system. In October 2018, more
than 37 million Pakistan children received measles
vaccination during a 12-day supplementary immunization
campaign, using real-time monitoring powered by RapidPro,
according to government reports.
As of December 2019, in Bangladesh, initial results indicate

that 89 per cent of registered pregnant women using the
real-time monitoring by Rapidpro have received antenatal
care and 99 percent reported satisfaction with those
services; and 91 per cent of registered lactating women
received postnatal care and 97 reported that they are
satisfied with that support.
United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF)
Strengthening Health Systems Since 1990, through the UNICEF Health Systems
(SHS) Strengthening Approach remarkable gains have been made
in improving outcomes for children and women. The number
of children dying before the age of five years has almost
halved and similar progress has been made in maternal
mortality. Stunting (chronic undernutrition) among children
below age five decreased from 40 per cent in 1990 to 25
percent in 2013.
However, stunting continues to affect an estimated 161

million children globally. In Afghanistan, nearly 1.2 million
children under one year receive life-saving vaccines. On a
yearly basis, 6 million pregnant women receive vaccines that
prevent nine diseases. In 2020, 50,364 pregnant women and
79,362 children who live more than two hours away from a
health facility received essential health care through mobile
health teams.
