We share values and objectives, and while we might make mistakes, we learn from them quickly. We are working out how to review proposals from countries applying to the Global Fund. The first round will be watched closely, and we want to make sure that the future will improve upon the present. We are discussing how best to ensure that GAVI contributes to the polio eradication effort. How to synergize efforts -to keep the momentum and the goal of polio eradication, while building new momentum around sustainable, improved, routine immunization services.
Polio eradication is on the right track.
Much of the world has been declared polio-free. Or will be soon. We are so close. We must finish the job in every country. In countries where there still is wild polio virus, we will sharpen focus, to continue to prioritize eradication efforts.
