To #EndCovidEverywhere requires a multifaceted, global approach, inclusive of fully financing the mandate of the ACT-Accelerator (ACT-A), sharing excess vaccine doses, and waiving intellectual property rights on COVID-19 tools. Turning vaccines into vaccinations requires people and critical infrastructure. Canada must top up its investment in the Global Financing Facility to build resilient health systems in low-income countries that support the rapid, equitable, and safe roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines and prevent future pandemics.
Also in August, with election buzz in the air and suggestions of an election on the horizon, we are focusing on ways to get ready to take action in a potential future election.

Our call-to-action this month highlights the increasingly urgent need to ensure that low-income countries can build the resilient health systems needed to roll-out COVID-19 vaccines and prevent future pandemics. With election buzz in the air and suggestions of an election on the horizon, we are also focusing on ways to get ready to take action in a future election.

All of our voices together can change the world and change the lives that others live.

Only six months ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we welcomed our first-ever cohort of energized advocates thanks to the launch of our Education and Advocacy Fellowship Program. Since then, fellows have become a driving force of advocacy for our issues: in a short time they have published letters to the editor and op-eds, engaged with parliamentarians (Members of Parliament and senators), organized successful activities, have inspired others to take action, have created local groups of volunteers and more.
See the fellows' most proud moments that will remain with them moving forward.
2020 was a year of change and struggle for people around the world. Not only did we have to shift our advocacy virtually, but progress towards achieving a world free of extreme poverty was seriously impacted.

Canada got us one step closer to ending COVID-19 everywhere with an additional donation of 17.7 million vaccine doses to low- and middle-income countries. The same day, the government launched a partnership with UNICEF Canada’s #GiveAVax campaign, which means they will match up to CAD$10 million of Canadians’ donations to the campaign! Read more.
