Estimates of global COVID-19-related disbursements and commitments of health and non-health funds, 2020

	Total	Health-related COVID-19 funds	Non-health-related COVID-19 funds
Commitment	243·804	61·5121	182·2919
Disbursement	139·1044	13·66932	125·4351

Units are billion US$. Using IHME's estimate of health-related disbursements, we estimated commitments and disbursements by health and non-health spending using data from the United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Financial Tracking Service, compiled by the Center for Disaster Protection.³⁸ In the case where a grant was allocated to multiple sectors (health, as well as one or more non-health sectors), we calculated the funds attributed to health spending by multiplying the total grant amount by 1 divided by the number of sectors represented. Proportions of global commitments and disbursements by type of spending (health and non-health) were multiplied by IHME's estimate of health-related disbursements.
