The WHO Foundation managed COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund (SRF), in collaboration with the UN Foundation and a global network of fiduciary partners which closed December 2021. Find out more on how the Fund made an impact.

In addition, WHO Foundation was a partner of the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) that was launched by WHO and other stakeholders in April 2020. This partnership has supported the fastest, most coordinated, and successful global effort to develop tools to fight a disease in history. WHO Foundation supported this initiative through the ACT Together Fund and supported WHO’s leading role in vaccination through COVAX.
