The Investment Round, launched by WHO in May 2024, aims to mobilize predictable and flexible resources from a broader base of donors for WHO’s core work for the period 2025–2028. It's an inclusive engagement process, and existing and potential new donors are invited to make commitments at a series of events co-hosted by interested Member States.
