It has been a difficult couple of weeks for international development, global health, and WHO.
Ten days ago my dear friend and colleague Tania Cernuschi started the 1 dollar 1 world campaign to show WHO still matters.

Please contribute and share.

A very cool colleague has launched a grassroots effort to support @WHO. It's called 1 Dollar, 1 World. Give what you can afford. I've donated. 🙏 whofoundation.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEKRBXN…#HealthForAllll

What if we proved WHO still matters?
If each of us, believing the UN isn’t perfect but it’s all we’ve got, gave just $1…

I like it! Wondering about the relationship between this & Kalecki’s financial bubble.

No book ever gave me more pleasure than "Small World". (I told David Lodge that once at @bathfringe.co.uk and he was charmingly embarrassed.)

Here are the most appalling clichés of modern political economy writing, that it's possible to read everywhere all the time.

As a former Enron employee, I find it odd that Enron is being relaunched, merch and all enron.com/collections/...

One of the heartening things about WHO’s investment round is the breadth of political support we have received

These are challenging times in global health...but we'll get by with a little help from our friends.

We have started to make a change: in 2020 we had visibility of 17% of our funding for the next four years; now we can count on 53%. Where funding was mostly earmarked, now more is flexible. And our donor base is more resilient, with 39 new donors making commitments.

10 years ago today I walked out of the hospital after surviving Ebola.

Back then I begged the world to strengthen our response to that crisis and prepare for others.

I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve learned over the last decade.

And the role of the U.S. in global health🧵
