East Asia and the Pacific

13 countries, 10,364 observations from 30 sources, covering 2000 to 2026. A country is read at source when our project takes the figures for the country directly from a national publisher, for example the national HIV programme, the health ministry, the national statistics office or an official national HIV model. A country marked Aggregators only appears only through international and donor bodies that compile figures across many countries, for example UNAIDS, the WHO, the World Bank, the OECD, the Global Fund and PEPFAR. China, Mongolia, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are read at source, through national disease tables, health indicator books, a provincial dashboard and national household surveys. Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands appear only through international and donor reporting. The Pacific Data Hub of the Pacific Community (SPC) gives survey figures for Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, and PEPFAR's results by province reach China and Papua New Guinea. Every country page lists the sources of the figures shown.

Disbursements reported to the OECD by all donors, by the United States alone, and by the Global Fund, summed across the 13 countries of East Asia and the Pacific. A year is drawn only when the number of countries reporting reaches 70 per cent of the highest number of countries reporting in any single year, because a total built from a few countries is low for reasons unrelated to the level of funding. For the Global Fund, at most three of the 13 countries report in any single year, so the minimum is three countries, and 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, 2014 to 2019, 2023 and 2024 fall below the minimum and are excluded. The line for the Global Fund therefore has a gap at 2010, 2011 and 2014 to 2019. Every total in the figure excludes Fiji, Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, North Korea, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Samoa, for which the OECD publishes no national figure.

America First Global Health Strategy

The United States government is replacing the earlier arrangements for United States global health assistance with country-by-country agreements. One agreement has been signed with countries in East Asia and the Pacific so far, out of 36 worldwide. Terms are recorded as published, and a figure an agreement does not state is marked as not stated.

Country	Signed	Total	US share	Country co-investment	Programme areas	Covers HIV
Papua New Guinea	2026-04-22	$18.0m	$15.0m	$3.0m	HIV/AIDS; GHS	Yes

The terms of the agreements come from the tracker of America First bilateral global health agreements kept by KFF, an American health-policy research organisation, and were retrieved on 29 October 2026. KFF assigns the programme areas by searching the press releases and agreement texts for keywords, so an agreement may cover more areas than the table lists. In the programme areas, TB is tuberculosis, MCH is maternal and child health and GHS is global health security.

What the East Asia and the Pacific page does not yet show

Fiji's national connector is built, but the gov.fj government domain gave no network address from 25 to 27 October 2026, and no Fijian figure is yet read at source. The national sources give sub-national figures for the 22 provinces of Papua New Guinea and the 10 provinces of North Korea, and PEPFAR's results by province for China and Papua New Guinea count only the sites PEPFAR supports. The North Korean, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu figures are survey shares from 2007 to 2015, and the national tables of China count AIDS cases and not HIV diagnoses. Samoa's health bulletins count laboratory specimens tested and not people tested, Tonga's health site was under maintenance, and the statistics offices of Tonga and Micronesia publish no HIV table. The Kiribati survey of 2009 failed the consistency checks of our project, the hosts of the later Kiribati and Tuvalu survey reports refused access, and the HIV page of the health ministry of the Marshall Islands is empty. The country-by-country position is set out in Methods.
