#ForOurFuture (July-Nov 2024):
To make infant mortality a thing of the past, we need access not only to nutrition but also to vaccines! While we are beginning our work to ensure that Canada stands out as a leader at the Nutrition for Growth Summit, our campaign for a new commitment of at least $720 million to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is not over yet! This is an opportunity to explain to your Members of Parliament that one can't go without the other and continue to work hard to ensure that the Government of Canada responds to the urgent call to invest in access to vaccines #ForOurFuture.
Since July, Results Canada’s volunteers have been calling on Canada to support global efforts to eradicate polio by committing $150 million per year to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative over the next three years. We are thrilled that Canada heard our call! On September 20th, Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen reaffirmed Canada's commitment to eradicating polio, announcing $151 million — that's $1 million more than our ask! Thank you to all of you who advocated for this! Read more here.
We achieved a lot in the past years across many of our campaigns and issue areas. To see the full extent of our impact and action, check out our 'A Parliamentarian's Year in Review 2023'!
