Accelerating Catalytic Financing in a New Era

Powerful Opportunities Beyond 2025

The past several months have brought unprecedented changes to the global health landscape that have exposed systemic vulnerabilities, underscoring the need to look beyond traditional aid models towards more sustainable funding. Yet, within these changes, there is a powerful opportunity to drive lasting, positive change in how the global health community supports the most vulnerable populations: locally led, scalable, and sustainable.

The path ahead for Global Health requires policymakers and funding agencies to reflect on how best to support a more sustainable and scalable future for healthcare, with real improvements in health outcomes.

The future must be one where local leadership takes precedence - where countries, regions, and frontline leaders shape and sustain their health care systems, supported by catalytic financing.

This pivotal moment demands more than stopgap solutions - it calls for a bold reset. We stand before a historic opportunity to accelerate catalytic financing that is uniquely positioned in this New Era.

This special 2025 GSF World Health Assembly (WHA) side-event convenes global leaders to accelerate catalytic financing in a new era, unlocking powerful opportunities in global health beyond 2025.

This pivotal moment demands more than stopgap solutions.
