Our head of Policy Advocacy @AlexRunswick was at #UNGA79 advocating for funding on AMR, child nutrition & vaccines, plus civil society engagement on pandemic preparedness & polio 💪

We also launched our report w @ResultsCda on innovations to #EndTB! ➡️ https://t.co/qgU3YrWs3p

@resultsuk looks forward to working with you Minister to make this happen

Today I’m at #UNGA79 in New York, as we get on with reconnecting Britain with the world.

My key focus? How we create a world free from poverty on a liveable planet.

Thrilled to be at #UNGA79 to launch our report on investing in innovations to ensure Equitable access to #EndTB co-authored by our brilliant colleagues @LeighRaithby @Sahera_TB. #YesWeCanEndTB. Waiting to see how our countries show up at the UNHLM on #AMR starting in a few mins!

@johngreen I'm wearing a pair of my awesome socks to pick up my pass for the UN high level meeting on antimicrobial resistance. I'm hoping to speak on behalf of @resultsuk about the importance of accurate affordable diagnostics for TB in addressing AMR.

I’m not an uncritical supporter of SV - I would prefer to use the Alternative Vote (AV) for single post elections. But SV did change elections - it made people freer to cast an honest vote, for their first choice and then their choice of the top two…

All too often the human costs of #corruption are forgotten. This new paper from @TI_Defence seeks to change that - telling the powerful stories of lives ruined by corruption in #Defence sectors. #AntiCorruption

This is a marked increase from my peer-reviewed academic research into the previous decade (2006-14), which showed that 1 in 9 peerages were going to party donors.

Now it’s 1 in 4. The problem is getting worse, not better.

[Daniel Bruce @DanielJBruce]

🧵 It’s against the law to ‘sell’ seats to the House of Lords. Yet @TransparencyUK’s latest research shows nearly 25% of party nominated peers in the last decade were also party donors #UKPolitics #HouseofLords #Democracy #AntiCorruption https://t.co/7JLFmeBfZD

[Harry Bignell @HarryBignell]

91% of policies to address the COVID-19 pandemic were completely gender-blind. Policy makers neglected the needs of women & gender-diverse people during COVID. This must be remedied in new pandemic response architecture https://t.co/lACXQ9lcPb @peoplesvaccine @FifaRahman @GbOxfam

That feeling where an issue you work on is finally getting some much needed media coverage but then you read it and😬

Great to see @TimeOutLondon raising awareness of tuberculosis (TB) in the UK but there are some problems with this article 🧵🧵https://t.co/uWfC961UkJ

[Alexandra Runswick @AlexRunswick]

Very excited to be publishing this report. We have all seen the photo op moments where world leaders make commitments to tackle big issues. How do we ensure the pledges translate into action? This is what we think needs to happen in TB.

[Results UK @resultsuk]

📢 New report!

Our Tuberculosis Accountability Policy Report released today urges for greater accountability to #EndTB by 2030: https://t.co/DOD8DSCqqb

So what is accountability in TB and why is it important?

Read on to find out more (1/4) 🧵

This is great - if long overdue - news. Congratulations to my former colleagues at @TransparencyUK @SteveJGoodrich @rose_whiffen @duncanhames

Despite severe disruption caused by the #COVID19 pandemic, more vaccines were administered by lower-income countries in 2021 than at any other time in history.

The Vaccine Impact Conference, co-hosted by @gavi and @SpainMFA will celebrate this resilience:

Grateful to be at the ⁦@gavi⁩ global vaccines impact conference. Taking inspiration from the big wins (1 billion kids reached!) and taking stock of the work still to be done (the big Covid-catch up and no more zero dose kids!) #vaccineswork ⁦@ResultsCda⁩
