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.

[VillageReach @VillageReach]

💥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

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

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

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

Our climate is in crisis. Dandelions believe that together, we can solve it.

We are Dandelions. Are you?

Has it really been a week since #AHAIC2023 #Kigali? We were excited to participate at the launch of @AfricaCDC’s first ever digital strategy. @eddiemu outlines what it means:

[VillageReach @VillageReach]

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.

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

@UN_Women determined, proud! Love this word search - so many great words that it's hard to stick with just the first ones you see.

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… https://t.co/cSJbRKcIxv via @VillageReach

Public health supply chains should be integrated to mirror how health workers provide services. @villagereach Tiwonge Mkandawire and @gatesfoundation @kellyramblin discuss ways to make health products more accessible and effective in Products to People Ep1 https://t.co/xXu5W294Hz

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

Reason 1001 why professionalized #CHWs make health care better.

They get kids and adults vaccinated.

Great analysis by @TafwirapoChihana and @RebeccaAlban of how CHWs in Malawi⬆️ vaccinations. @chw_impact @gavi

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

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

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.

[Community Health Impact Coalition @join_chic]

@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!

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

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.

[VillageReach @VillageReach]

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

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

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

“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

[Emily Bancroft @esbancroft]

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
