We achieve change through mobilising additional funds for development and ensuring that existing funds are used effectively. Here are some examples of the important steps we have taken to end poverty over the last 3 years, which our advocacy and campaigning has played a significant role in achieving: The UK government pledged £1 billion to support the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This funding will save a life every 3 minutes over the next 3 years; Following a sustained campaign on this issue by RESULTS and its partners The Department for International Development (DFID) announced that all future schools built with UK support in developing countries will be made accessible; RESULTS UK organised 22 film screenings of ‘They Go to Die’ across the UK to raise awareness and mobilise the public to take action to address the TB crisis in the gold mining industry, as part of our ongoing 'Dying for Gold' campaign. 1500 members of the UK public took action. The UK government pledged £655 million to tackle global under nutrition; DFID announced a grant of £12 million for research into new tools to fight tuberculosis, the world’s largest infectious killer; DFID’s new ‘Skills and Innovation in Micro Banking in Africa’ (SIMBA) will aim to reach the poorest and most vulnerable people thanks to effective social performance indicators being incorporated throughout the project design, which were advocated for by RESULTS UK; The UK Government took important steps to consider extending support for micro crop insurance through climate change adaptation funding to ensure that poor farmers are protected from the effects of weather disasters. The government is currently considering its options for supporting microinsurance through ‘Fast Start’ climate funding; and DFID Ministers for the first time explicitly stated that they oppose user fees for basic healthcare, which prevent the poor from accessing the care they need, and that they will support developing countries to remove fees where they aim to. For more information please contact our Campaigns Manager Dan Jones at dan.jones@results.org.uk "History has shown us that simply throwing money at complex issues such as combating extreme poverty is not enough. We need to ensure programmes and initiatives that are set up to tackle these problems are based on an in-depth knowledge of the underlying issues and conflicting interests that come into play, as well as a sound foundation of past experience and on-the-ground knowledge. RESULTS have this knowledge and the capacity to inspire others to influence funding decision-makers to make the right decisions that will achieve the best outcomes for those in extreme poverty." Kathryn Ripley, grassroots group member, London "Thanks to the work of RESULTS UK and other partners, the UK has been able to demonstrate extraordinary leadership in the fight against [AIDS, TB and Malaria]."
