Brev til utviklingsministeren

Kjære Utviklingsminister Anne Beathe Tvinnereim

Den globale kampen mot aids, tuberkulose og malaria står i dag ved et vendepunkt. Verden har gjort store fremskritt i nå målet om å ende de tre sykdommene innen 2030, men på grunn av Covid-19 pandemien har alt snudd. Nå i sluttspurten av budsjettforhandlingene, og i tråd med Hurdalsplattformen, ber vi derfor Utviklingsministeren om å prioritere bekjempelse av smittsomme sykdommer.

I løpet av de tjue årene siden det Globale fondet for å bekjempe aids, tuberkulose og malaria ble opprettet i 2002, har deres programmer reddet over 44 millioner liv. Dette ville ikke vært mulig uten engasjement fra givere som Norge, som har bidratt med over to milliarder kroner over de siste tre årene.

Men nå må vi øke innsatsen.  Pandemiens herjinger har gjort at vi for første gang på mange tiår ser at testing, behandling og forebygging for HIV har gått ned, og dødsfall fra tuberkulose og malaria har økt.

“In the face of the catastrophic impact of COVID-19 on the fight against HIV, TB and malaria, the choice is stark: We either increase funding, or we abandon hope of finally defeating these epidemics by 2030”

 Peter Sands, direktør for Det globale fondet

For å kunne takle disse tilbakeslagene, har Det globale fondet behov for minst 18 milliarder USD i 2023-2025, en 30 % økning fra siste påfyllingskonferanse i 2019. President Biden har allerede gjort det klart at USA vil dra sin del av lasset, og kan bidra med tredjedel av de totale bidragene. Dette løftet på 6 milliarder dollar er et tydelig signal til andre givere om at de også må øke støtten, for å dra full nytte av USAs forpliktelse. Dette er en oppfordring vi håper at Norge, som en av verdens ledende land innen global helse, følger opp.

Vi ber derfor om at Norge øker sitt bidrag til den helt nødvendige bekjempelsen av aids, tuberkulose og malaria, og støtter Det globale fondet med minst NOK 2 605 000 000 over de neste tre årene.

Dette vil bidra til følgende:

• Redde 20 millioner liv mellom 2024 og 2026
• Redusere dødsfallene for de tre sykdommene til 950 000 i 2026, ned fra 2,4 millioner i 2020.
• Avverge mer enn 450 millioner nye infeksjoner
• Katalysere innenlandske investeringer på opptil 59 milliarder dollar gjennom medfinansieringskrav og teknisk bistand til helsefinansiering.
• Redusere ulikheter i helsetjenester ved å adressere barrierer relatert til kjønn og menneskerettigheter.
• Styrke systemer for helse- og pandemiberedskap for å forebygge og reagere på fremtidige pandemier.

Det globale fondet prioriterer land med lav inntekt og høy sykdomsbyrde, og er spesielt oppmerksomme på sårbare grupper og deres rett til helse, inkludert LHBTI+-personer, kvinner og unge jenter.

Vi, sivilsamfunnet og organisasjonene som er oppført nedenfor, håper på et positivt svar fra Utviklingsministeren. Det vil bety alt for de millioner av mennesker som er syke, og vil gi oss en bedre og friskere verden.

På forhånd tusen takk!
