I looked at reductions in official development assistance and funding for global health agencies.

Though much is taken, much abides - there is plenty of important work for these agencies to do, and which needs to be done at the global level.

It has been a difficult couple of weeks for international development, global health, and WHO.
Ten days ago my dear friend and colleague Tania Cernuschi started the 1 dollar 1 world campaign to show WHO still matters.

Please contribute and share.

A very cool colleague has launched a grassroots effort to support @WHO. It's called 1 Dollar, 1 World. Give what you can afford. I've donated. 🙏 whofoundation.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEKRBXN… #HealthForAll

What if we proved WHO still matters?
If each of us, believing the UN isn’t perfect but it’s all we’ve got, gave just $1…

Company Store We're back and we have something to say

As a former Enron employee, I find it odd that Enron is being relaunched, merch and all enron.com/collections/...

One of the heartening things about WHO’s investment round is the breadth of political support we have received

These are challenging times in global health...but we'll get by with a little help from our friends.

We have started to make a change: in 2020 we had visibility of 17% of our funding for the next four years; now we can count on 53%. Where funding was mostly earmarked, now more is flexible. And our donor base is more resilient, with 39 new donors making commitments.
