<p>Hosting the conference in Lyon, Mr Macron said $13.92bn had been promised for the work – and he vowed to keep pushing for more.</p>
<p>A dozen heads of state and government, mostly from African countries, global health leaders and philanthropists including Bill Gates and Bono attended the Global Fund conference.</p>

<p>Mr Macron said that in a last-minute effort, France had raised its donation by 20% to $1.42bn – $60m more than previously announced.</p>
<p>The US Congress has approved a commitment to give a total of $4.7bn over three years, while Britain has pledged £1.4 billion.</p>
<p>In his opening speech, Mr Macron said:<em> “If we meet our commitments in the next three years, 16 million lives can be saved.”</em></p>
<p>The donations from governments, philanthropic donors and the private sector will be used to finance health programmes in more than 100 countries.</p>
<p>Major recipients of the fund will be Nigeria, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>The Global Fund said the money would help avert 234 million infections and try to get back on track to end HIV, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics by 2030.</p>
