"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7279209\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7279210\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact, what I tried to explain at the beginning is that the $18 billion target represents an increase of 30%, roughly, compared with the sixth replenishment. That 30% is not because we have suddenly become more expensive. In fact, we have very low operating costs. For your information, 5.2% is our level of operating costs; so it's very, very low. The increased target is because of the COVID-19 knock-on impact on these three diseases. This 30% increase is what our funding needs are. This is what we expect our major donors to consider as a potential pledge this time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7279211\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said, what is happening is that the U.S., as the host, but also as our largest donor, has already committed that 30% increase, with a commitment of $6 billion. If we want to unlock the $6 billion from the U.S., we need to find the other $12 billion. This is why it's so important that all of our major donors step up. If they don't, we won't be able to find the $12 billion and therefore will leave the U.S. money unavailable on the table.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7279209\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7279210\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, j'ai essay\u00e9 d'expliquer au d\u00e9but que l'objectif de 18 milliards de dollars repr\u00e9sente une augmentation d'environ 30 % comparativement \u00e0 la sixi\u00e8me reconstitution des ressources. Cela ne veut pas dire que nous sommes brusquement devenus plus chers. En fait, nos co\u00fbts de fonctionnement sont tr\u00e8s faibles. \u00c0 titre d'information, ils sont de 5,2 %, c'est\u2011\u00e0\u2011dire vraiment tr\u00e8s peu. L'augmentation du budget n\u00e9cessaire est attribuable aux r\u00e9percussions de la COVID\u201119 sur les trois maladies. Ces 30 % correspondent \u00e0 nos besoins. C'est l'engagement de principe que nous attendons de nos principaux donateurs cette fois\u2011ci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7279211\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit, les \u00c9tats-Unis, \u00e0 titre de pays h\u00f4te, mais aussi de principal donateur, se sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 engag\u00e9s \u00e0 augmenter de 30 % leur contribution, \u00e0 raison de 6 milliards de dollars. Si nous voulons d\u00e9bloquer ces 6 milliards de dollars, nous devons trouver les 12 milliards de dollars de contrepartie. C'est pourquoi il est si important que tous nos principaux donateurs fassent leur part. Sinon, nous ne pourrons pas recueillir ces 12 milliards de dollars et, par voie de cons\u00e9quence, l'argent am\u00e9ricain ne sera pas accessible.</p>"
