U.K. funding for polio eradication is also expected to almost disappear due to the drastic cuts, Devex reported, while money for water, sanitation and hygiene will be cut by 80 percent.
“We have a global supply chain, and it’s going very well in some parts of the world and more challenging in other parts,” said Pascal Soriot, the CEO of AstraZeneca. He was speaking in May at a virtual forum hosted by Devex, a media platform for the global development community, during the ongoing World Health Assembly.
On the global front, administration officials are also weighing a $2.5 billion initiative called the President’s Response to Outbreaks that would move a significant portion of national and international pandemic responses to the State Department, according to a draft obtained by The Post. Details were first reported by Devex.
The Sustainable Development Goals won’t be reached without transforming the way global development work gets done. Business-as-usual will not cut it.
We bring the power of independent journalism and a global, mission-driven community to do just that. In the end, social impact work must be based on evidence, focused on results, and put affected communities and local professionals at the center. The best ideas and innovations for humanity must be prioritized, and leaders and institutions held accountable.
That’s what our journalists do every day at Devex. When our reporting gets amplified by media around the world, so does our impact.
