Question 11378 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms. Colette Capdevielle draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the necessary French contribution to the Global Fund to fight HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. France has made the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria a priority of its global health strategy, and is today the second largest donor behind the United States to the global fund. Since 2010, the number of infections by HIV has decreased by a third. The Global Fund has a lot to do with this success. In fact, in 2023, it had made it possible to provide treatment to 25 million people. Also, since 2002, AIDS-related deaths have decreased by 73% and new infections by 61% in the countries in which the global fund invests. However, these decades of progress are threatened by the cessation of American funding, and cuts in public development assistance on the European continent. This general decline also poses a danger for global health security, raising fears of a resurgence of HIV/AIDS in countries which had largely fought it. During the last replenishment of its resources, France announced funding of 1.596 billion euros for the global fund. On November 21, 2025, the President of the Republic was not present at the replenishment conference and France has not announced any contribution for the first time since the creation of the Global Fund in 2002. This lack of contribution has a human cost: it could lead to the death of 2 million people. Thus, she questions him about the amount of the French contribution to the global fund, and calls on him to announce a contribution at the same level as in 2022 to make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS worldwide and save many lives. She wants to know his intentions on this matter.
