Access to COVID-19 tools funding commitment tracker
Overview
The ACT-Accelerator Commitment Tracker provides transparent reporting on funding commitments made between donors and ACT-A agencies against ACT-Accelerator Pillar budgets. The tracker does not report on pledges made by donors.
Urgent action to address these financing requirements will boost the impact of the ACT-Accelerator achievements to date, fast-track the development and deployment of additional game-changing tools, and address the inequity gap in access to
COVID-19 tools between low- and high-income countries.
The tracker is updated every month and based on data received from ACT-Accelerator agencies. All amounts are in USD and are subject to foreign exchange variations. Information on the exchange rates used for major currencies is provided in the Commitment Tracker slide deck.
This Commitment Tracker is a product of the ACT-A Hub with cooperation from the ACT-A partners.
The ACT-A Hub, hosted by WHO, appreciates the support of Germany and Kuwait in financing our coordination work.

The ACT Accelerator Commitment Tracker provides details of this funding, taking into account retrospective cost adjustments. The 2020-21 budget’s funding gap was US$ 15.4 billion.
Since 29 October 2021, all new pledges in support of the ACT-Accelerator counted towards the 2021-22 budget (see details in ACT-Accelerator Strategic Plan & Budget: October 2021 to September 2022).
The Financing Framework details the split of the overall 12-month budget of US$ 23.4 billion into US$ 16.8 billion of grant financing for ACT-A agencies and US$ 6.5 billion to be financed with domestic resources, including support by multilateral development bank funds.
