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. ๐Ÿ™ whofoundation.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEKRBXNโ€ฆ #HealthForAll

What if we proved WHO still matters?
If each of us, believing the UN isnโ€™t perfect but itโ€™s all weโ€™ve got, gave just $1โ€ฆ

I like it! Wondering about the relationship between this & Kaleckiโ€™s financial bubble.

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 WHOโ€™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.

10 years ago today I walked out of the hospital after surviving Ebola.

Back then I begged the world to strengthen our response to that crisis and prepare for others.

Iโ€™ve been reflecting on what weโ€™ve learned over the last decade.

And the role of the U.S. in global health๐Ÿงต

Many thanks for the kind words and for amplifying the report, much appreciated

The report, a two page policy brief summarizing key messages, and a 4-minute video overview are at globalhealth2050.org

Great story thank you. Seems like the supply of Wensleydale is constrained at the moment. Canโ€™t find it in supermarkets where it was available a couple of years ago
