The Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF), a World Bank-hosted partnership supporting health systems in lower-income countries, has raised $806 million in new pledges — more than 80 percent of its $1 billion fundraising target ahead of a 2026 deadline. The announcement, made on the sidelines of the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings, launches the GFF's TRANSFORM 2030 strategy, which aims to expand its reach from 36 to 50 high-burden countries and unlock tens of billions in combined international and domestic health financing. Major donors include Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, the Gates Foundation, and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, with funds earmarked for essential medicines supply chains and a programme to scale safer childbirth practices across ten countries.
