We want to congratulate IyinOluwa Joshua Ajayi for being this year's Sam Singh Memorial Award winner. Each year, we recognize an outstanding young leader in development policy with this award. The award is dedicated to Sam, our former policy colleague, who passed away in 2020. Her legacy is one of kindness, and the belief in a better, more equal future. Ajayi's writing moved us - with the data of an expert and the heart of an activist, he made a compelling call for his fellow Nigerians to take action for a sustainable future. "We are the architects of our destiny... and the guardians of generations yet to come," he wrote. Click the link to read his award-winning essay. https://lnkd.in/gCAUyJUR

"I joined the ONE Campaign because I really believe that it's time for Africans to define what we want and to build bridges between Africa and the rest of the world." - ONE's CEO Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli. Building those bridges will ensure that Africans can define the future that they want, transform Africa into a beacon of hope, and so much more. Watch our video below to learn more about Ndidi and the role ONE plays in making that happen.

Check out our German team in action 👇
Last week, I had the privilege of leading a German delegation on a trip to Rwanda, witnessing firsthand the transformative potential and impact of development cooperation. We met with senior leadership from the German embassy, GIZ, Rwanda’s Ministry of Health and Dr. Sahr John Kpundeh from the World Bank. We also visited projects like Zipline, a mobile hospital in Burgesera disctrict and Masaka Hospital, among others, supported by our partners Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, The Global Fund, and The World Bank. Additionally, we had the honour of hosting leaders from across Rwanda’s public and private sectors for insightful dinner conversations on the role of development cooperation in supporting employment, climate action and community engagement in Rwanda. With each meeting and site visit, we saw evidence of how investments from and collaboration with development partners have supported Rwanda’s government in making remarkable progress in health coverage, disease prevention and management, and health systems strengthening. Guided by Rwanda’s national development strategies and complemented by the country’s extensive network of community health workers and community-based health insurance scheme, Gavi, GIZ, the Global Fund and the World Bank have had a hand in one or more of the following achievements in Rwanda: · 96% of children are fully immunised (as per Rwanda’s latest demographic and health survey) · Zeroreports of vaccine stockouts · All COVID-19 vaccine targets met · UNAIDS 95-95-95 target almost met everywhere · A significant decrease in nationwide malaria cases from 5 million in 2016 to 600,000 in 2023. · A success rate in treating multi-drug resistant tuberculosis that is above the global average. · Improving the maturity level of the country’s Food and Drug Authority in support of Rwanda’s goal to become a regional vaccine manufacturing hub. These impressive achievements are the result of targeted investment, true partnership and country ownership, contributing to a global community that is more resilient to external shocks from climate change and future pandemics. Already, Gavi has helped avert 17.3 million future deaths by scaling up vaccination and the Global Fund has saved 59 million lives, with every US$1 invested yielding US$31 in health gains and economic returns. The World Bank’s International Development Association is a lifeline for countries facing debt vulnerabilities. Continued support from partners like Germany is key to sustaining the success stories we see in Rwanda and other African countries. I left Rwanda energised and even more committed to advocating for the championing and continued support of these organisations by countries everywhere. The road ahead may be hard, but the impact we can achieve together is proven and worth fighting for. #DevelopmentCooperation #GlobalHealth #Rwanda #Partnerships #SustainableDevelopment

By 2050, Africa will be home to 1 in 4 people. They'll be both the producers and consumers that drive global markets. 1.5bn will be of working age (more than double the whole population of Europe). What leaders in Europe and Africa do today will shape the world they command. ONE's David McNair launched a new essay series with Carnegie Endowment for International Peace that explains. #WhyEuropeNeedsAfrica Read more: https://lnkd.in/eXQZYraU

The partnership between Europe and Africa is crucial to fostering a vibrant, strong future for both continents. ONE's David McNair launched a new essay series with Carnegie Endowment for International Peace that explores just that. "While geography, history, and politics will play a critical role in the future of this relationship, the starting point lies in the greatest resource of the two continents: their people." #WhyEuropeNeedsAfrica Read more below. https://lnkd.in/eXQZYraU
