# Global Fund's 6th Replenishment Conference
The President of the French Republic, Mr Emmanuel MACRON, will chair the Global Fund's 6th Replenishment Conference to Fight against HIV, tuberculosis and Malaria in Lyon from 09 to 10 October 2019. This gathering will be held for the first time in France.
Every three years, the Global Fund organises the replenishment of its resources for the next cycle, resources that come from voluntary contributions from governments and private donors. It is during this meeting that the amount of the contributions of each country and private donors from around the world is definitively announced, in order to contribute to the fight against epidemics and to promote a future where everyone would live in good health.
The Global Fund seeks to accelerate the movement on the fight against HIV, TB and malaria. The conference in Lyon is expected to raise a minimum of 14 billion US dollars to save 16 million lives, prevent 234 million infections and eradicate these diseases. The Global Fund is calling on the private sector to mobilise at least US $1 billion.
In 2015, by adopting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 3 – to enable everyone to live in good health and promote the well-being of all at all ages, the world is committed to eradicate epidemics such as HIV, TB and malaria by 2030. To cope with this, a massive increase in funding is needed. These three pandemics are the leading causes of premature death and disability worldwide. HIV is the leading global cause of early death among women aged 15-49; Tuberculosis is the world's deadliest infectious disease with 10 (ten) million new cases each year and 1.8 million deaths a year; Malaria infected about 216 million people in 2018, killing 445,000 people, including 285,000 children under five. The world already has tools to eradicate these pandemics, including effective treatments. However, there is evidence that the world is not on track to end these pandemics and that the 2030 targets will not be met without a significant increase in funding.
The technical partners estimated that the total amount of financial resources needed to deal with these diseases amounts to US $101 billion for the period 2021-2023.
