Access to COVID-19 tools funding commitment tracker

Overview

The ACT-Accelerator Commitment Tracker provides transparent reporting on funding commitments made against ACT-Accelerator Pillar budgets.

Urgent action to address these financing requirements will boost the impact of the ACT-Accelerator achievements to date, fast-track the development and deployment of additional game-changing tools, and mitigate the risk of a widening gap in access to COVID-19 tools between low- and high-income countries.

The tracker is updated every 2 weeks on a Friday and based on data received from ACT-Accelerator Pillar co-conveners. All amounts are in USD and are subject to ForEx variations.

This commitment tracker was prepared by the ACT-A Hub with cooperation from the ACT-A partners.

The ACT-A Hub, hosted by WHO, appreciates the support of Germany and Kuwait in financing our coordination work.

Funding Snapshot as of 29 October 2021

As of 29 October 2021, an unprecedented mobilization of sovereign funders and private sector, philanthropic and multilateral contributors has galvanized commitments of USD 18.8 billion. The ACT Accelerator Commitment Tracker provides details of this funding. These pledges, together with cost adjustments since September 2020, bring the remaining funding gap for 2021 to USD 15.9 billion.
