Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly pledging event
This High-level pledging event will convene Member States, donors, and key partners to raise funding as part of the WHO Investment Round to deliver on the Fourteenth General Programme of Work (GPW 14), strengthening its core mandate and capacity to drive global health outcomes in the new global health landscape.
The event will highlight the need for predictable, sustainable financing to enable WHO to deliver where it matters most – at the country level. By prioritizing and zeroing in on what it does best and where it's uniquely positioned, WHO will support national health priorities, respond to emergencies, and ensure global health investments translate into real impact.
The event takes place at the UN Palais des Nations, Room XVIII on Tuesday 20 May 2025 between 18:45–19:45 CEST, and it can be attended in person by delegates and accredited WHA78 participants.
