An important milestone for the Government of Kenya and the Beginnings Fund 🇰🇪 Yesterday saw the launch of a five-year partnership to expand access to quality maternal and newborn care. This is expected to reach ~5.9 million women and newborns and help prevent an estimated 46,494 deaths by 2031.

The International Maternal & Newborn Health Conference starts today. Read CIFF's latest OpEd exploring why action on maternal nutrition is one of the most effective ways to improve child health: nation.africa/kenya/blogs-... #IMNHC #Nutrition #GlobalHealth @alignmnh.bsky.social

Investment in maternal nutrition is key

Every dollar invested in nutrition returns $23 to the economy, and early intervention only increases the gains.

Why invest in the #GlobalFund? Because investing in health is an opportunity to create a world where children can thrive. Because the Global Fund knows how to turn innovation into impact. That's why, earlier this year, CIFF announced our $200m commitment, a five-fold increase.

Why is CIFF scaling its philanthropic giving? Hear more from CIFF's founder, Sir Chris Hohn, on the need for philanthropy to step up and play its part.

A climate-resilient Africa means enabling every child to grow, learn, and lead in a world that is not only surviving climate change, but shaping the solutions to it. This is the long-term impact we must invest in, and the kind of future we are committed to. #ACS2 #ClimateAction

“Funding isn’t just about dollars, it’s about creating space for scale,” said @ciffchild.bsky.social’s Richard Borain at #IAS2025. With long-acting PrEP emerging, CIFF is focused on delivery innovation, integration, and national systems readiness.

Last week, the first Global Ethical Stocktake dialogue took place. This joint initiative from @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social & ‪António Guterres creates space to ask: If we have already agreed on what must be done to tackle the climate crisis, why aren't we doing it? @cop30nobrasil.bsky.social

Integrating immunisation & nutrition is a game-changer. That's why we were thrilled to pledge our Gavi commitment last week, continuing our focus on integrating health, nutrition & tech ⬇️ https://www.gavi.org/news/media-room/world-leaders-recommit-immunisation-amid-global-funding-shortfall

World leaders recommit to immunisation amid global funding shortfall

The Global Summit: Health & Prosperitythrough Immunisation sees a record number of donors pledge towards Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, securing more than US$ 9 billion towards a target budget of US$ 11.9 billion for its next strategic period (2026–2030).

Since its launch in 2022, the #KigaliDeclaration on #NTDs has seen remarkable global uptake 📈 growing from 57 to 84 endorsements from countries, partners, and organisations. The Commitment Tracker is helping partners monitor progress. @uniting.bsky.social #BeatNTDs

We've partnered with Soccer Aid for UNICEF for a number of years, to help scale up nutrition funding and ensure more children get the chance to live healthy, happy lives. This year, we are once again partnering and matching public donations up to £5 million in support of nutrition programming.

At CIFF, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive lasting change in the world. We’re proud to be part of the Beginnings Fund, a unique initiative dedicated to preventing over 300k avoidable deaths & expanding access to quality care for 34mn mothers and babies in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.

True progress in African development comes from genuine partnership and a willingness to listen and learn together. That's why we co-convened the #AfricaXchange in Nairobi alongside @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

Investment in #GlobalHealth is a smart, high-impact, jobs-rich investment in stable, equitable and prosperous societies. Now is the time to double down on progress – which is why we’re pledging a further $150 million in support of the #GlobalFund ’s 8th replenishment.

Skilling is the gateway to economic independence and empowerment for women worldwide🌍 This year's #IWD2025 theme is 'Accelerate Action' and we want to champion the incredible #WomenWhoAccelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our letter to the Prime Minister expressing deep concern regarding his decision to cut ODA. This will have a direct and devastating impact on the lives of millions. The aid budget is an important instrument for long-term stability and economic partnership. We hope the government will reconsider.
