Timely and critical discussions on re-shaping #GlobalHealth governance to achieve #UHC with #equitableaccess and #equitableoutcomes: 1. high-level #MELP working lunch, with Ministers, @FLON, @AfricaCDC & @WHOAFRO leadership, @gavi and @GlobalFund Board members, to discuss how to strengthen African voices in global health decision-making platforms, level the playing field and reduce power imbalance and 2. round table discussion on the #LusakaAgenda of Future of Global Health Initiatives #FGHI, to achieve coherence, alignment around One country plan, Government ownership and leadership, and One M&E framework.

I kick-off my #CPHIA2023 journey this morning, moderating a panel of established and emerging women leaders to discuss the workplace reality and the wounds sustained in ensuring access to equitable, quality health care. Come and hear authentic conversations that celebrate the achievements to date and uncover the barriers broken to enable safe working and leadership environments for women. Let’s hold hands and join efforts to build a workplace architecture that enables safety and support a gender-transformative leadership. #genderequity #genderequality #SDG5 #SDG3 #UHC

Congratulations @USAmbGHSD for this major achievement, which will greatly advance global health efforts.

[Josephat Kakoma @JosephatK]

Forget the amounts involved, what’s huge is the budget support component. Lack of confidence in many of our countries’ PFM systems means donors by-passing national systems and creating parallel structures. Kudos President HH!

The EU has announced a Democracy Dividend grant of 110 million Euro 60m to Ed & Health 30m to Kariba Dam rehabi & 20 million to small holder farmers. You know the best part - it is that the EU is convinced the money will go to its intended purpose. Take a bow Mr Musokotwane!!

Delighted to share Africa’s lessons learned working with the Global Fund governance bodies with Pandemic Fund’s Co-Investors and CSOs as they figure out how to self-organize and effectively represent their respective constituencies.

Historical…!

[Paul Kagame @PaulKagame]

Historic milestone today as the first @BioNTech_Group BioNTainers arrived in Rwanda, exactly 3 years since the first case of Covid-19 was detected in our country. This system will allow end-to-end mRNA vaccine production in Africa for the first time.

@dereje_dugumaMD @gavi @theGFF @GlobalFund @GAC_Corporate I’ve met Joshua at global Find board meetings, including during bilateral meetings with his Constituency. A very attentive listener and thoughtful when he speaks

[Magda Robalo @MagdaNRobalo]

It looks like everything but success or best practice, if on this day and age we have an all male panel to discuss an inherently woman issue. Nothing about us without us! No wonder patriarchy and misogyny is still rampant on the continent.

@acb4gf @NEPAD_Agency @UNAIDS_AU_ECA @GlobalFund Frank and honest discussion on what is missing to get all the global funds to buy from Africa. The barriers are not insurmountable, let’s work with what we have however little. Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Buy; Buy; Buy. But buy quality. @AaronMulaki
