Pledges to the WHO Investment Round

The Investment Round, launched by WHO in May 2024, aims to mobilize predictable and flexible resources from a broader base of donors for WHO’s core work for the period 2025–2028.

The Investment Round is an inclusive engagement process, and existing and potential new donors were and are invited to make commitments.

WHO thanks all donors for their contributions.
