WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “I thank our African Region Member States for actively supporting WHO’s first Investment Round to mobilise predictable and flexible resources needed for our core work over the next four years.

“Full, sustainable funding will enable WHO to support countries better in their work to build healthier, more resilient, and more prosperous populations.”

WHO regional director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, said, “A robust, predictable and sustainably financed WHO is essential for our region and the world to meet the multiple health threats we face and support the prevention of disease based on the vast evidence at our disposal.
