This partnership is a pioneering example of how the private sector can work with civil society to improve public health in low- and middle income countries.”

It was not easy to convince policy makers to change from a system that had been followed for more than 30 years to a new and innovative approach… over time, we changed our minds and our distribution system. And our children are healthier for it.”

We were driven to create a global multi-sector network from the beginning, laying the groundwork to focus on the most pivotal parts of the fight as they evolve. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the collaborative power of the Network has been validated again and again, from advocating for equitable response and access to reshaping the global health security architecture and promoting evidence-based interventions through behavior change communications.
