The ACT-Accelerator Facilitation Council has developed a Financing Framework with a grant funding ask to enable ACT-Accelerator agencies to support low coverage countries to achieve the global vaccines, tests, treatment and PPE targets. Achieving the global targets is crucial to end the pandemic.
This event aims to raise awareness of ACT-Accelerator achievements and build political support for the urgent financial needs of its agencies to scale up this vital work.
It will launch the 'fair share' resource mobilization asks to countries, provide a platform to political leaders to confirm their commitments to profile the ACT-Accelerator using the G20, G7 and USA Global COVID-19 Summit to reinforce and recognize exemplary contributors to the ACT-Accelerator to date.
