One of my favorite moments of yesterday on the sidelines of #wha77. The whole crowd waiting Mozambique and Malawi flags to celebrate the cross-border collaboration to end a polio outbreak.
💥The power of cross-border collaboration to end outbreaks💥
We celebrated the closure of Malawi and Mozambique’s #polio outbreak, with @health_malawi @SaudeMisau @gatesfoundation at #WHA77
It’s a privilege to support governments across Africa to #EndPolioNow @EndPolioNow
The @COP28_UAE commitment to operationalize the #LossAndDamage Fund was a promising start but < 0.2% of what is needed has been pledged. Major polluters need to step up - we’re looking at you @POTUS @JustinTrudeau #PrimeMinisterKishida #G7. #ProjectDandelion #PollutersMustPay
Our climate is in crisis. Dandelions believe that together, we can solve it.
We are Dandelions. Are you?

Progress is possible, but not inevitable. The women and men highlighted yesterday at the #Goalkeepers2023 awards demonstrate progress in action. #UNGA2023
Last night’s 2023 Goalkeepers Awards was one for the books, as three amazing activists were honoured for their work in the field.
Meet the new recipients of the Goalkeepers Awards and watch their inspiring stories.

Building responsive PHC Systems at #AHAIC2023!
We heard from Africa's top #PHC thought leaders, gov. officials, private sector, innovators, activists, academics, researchers, policy makers, health workers, and mobilizers on how we can transform health systems to serve everyone.
Gone are the days when vaccine routes only use traditional modes of transport such as canoes, trucks and motorbikes to navigate swamps, rivers, mountains and dense forests. In the DRC we are transitioning to an era of drones which fly… villagereach.org/2023/01/18/… via @VillageReach

Inspired to hear Dr. Dennis Mukwenge - Nobel Peace Prize Laureate @ConcordiaSummit - recognized for his work in helping thousands of women and children with comprehensive support when rape is used as weapon of war. #DRCongo #healthcarehero #stopinjustice
We must come together to reduce competition and fragmentation in global health - “we are all working on the exact same goal” Great remarks from @AngelaGichaga of @FinancingAllian and @Frontline1st at @chw_impact briefing.
@AngelaGichaga recognizes the progress made in domestic resource allocation towards professional #CommunityHealthWorkers. But there's more to be done to CLOSE THE $4.4 BILLION USD annual financing gap for community health.
Advocate to close the gap at #UNGA77 and beyond!
Welcome @ClaudiaS_VR! So glad to have you on board to advance partnerships that expand access to health products and services for the most under-reached.
We just released September's newsletter and it's a good one!

Only 14% of CHWs paid, 70% are women. Can’t ignore the gender dynamics of unpaid #chws. @RoopaDhatt of @womeninGH says we don’t need working groups, we need action. @chw_impact
📣HAPPENING TODAY📣
@chw_impact is hosting a breakfast briefing on the sidelines of #UNGA77 to share the latest resources on #CHWs.

Excited to be with Claudia Shilumani @TheAfricaCenter on a Sunday morning in NY to talk about respectful partnerships to advance #Africa New Public Health Order. @AfricaCDC @MastercardFdn thx for convening this important conversation. #HealthForAll
“We need to be able to do things on our own, but that does not mean we need to do them alone” @laktarr001 @AfricaCDC “Timely help is good help; any help that is not good help is a burden.” Powerful words on partnerships and collaboration in #Africa New Public Health Order
Listening to @AfricaCDC @laktarr001 explain what #Africa learned during #covid19 - #Africa must and can stand on its own in public health emergencies. Strong institutions, effective and managed collaboration, a new global health security framework all needed. @TheAfricaCenter
