Germany, top WHO donor-Tedros
By Nidz Godino
“As you all know, Germany has been an important friend and longstanding partner to WHO and in fact it is now WHO’s largest donor,” World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, speaking alongside German Development Minister Svenja Schulze said Germany had become its largest donor, supplanting Washington, and called for broad changes to reform its funding model.
The United States is resisting financing proposal that would make UN health body more independent, raising doubts about Biden administration’s long-term support for WHO.
The announcement, confirmed by WHO data, came as the WHO’s executive board begins week-long meeting to discuss its funding and management.
Germany is this year’s president of the Group of Seven major economies, and Schulze said its top priority was to end pandemic. She called for a “massively accelerated, truly global vaccination campaign.”
Tedros praised Germany’s commitment to vaccine sharing as well as its “visionary approach, which is rooted in partnership, solidarity and multilateralism.”
Supporters say WHO’s current reliance on voluntary funding from member states and from charities forces it to focus on priorities set by funders, and makes it less able to criticize members when things go wrong.
A proposal published by WHO’s working group on sustainable financing calls for members’ mandatory contributions to rise gradually to account for half the agency’s $2 billion core budget by 2028, from less than 20% now.
WHO data up to the end of November 2021 showed Germany topping the table of member states’ combined mandatory and voluntary contributions for 2020-2021, followed by the United States and Britain.
Washington remains top contributor of mandatory funds.
In a speech to the board, Tedros called for a “paradigm change” in WHO funding.
“Let me put it plainly… if the current funding model continues, WHO is being set up to fail,” he concluded.
