@lia_tadesse What a tragic loss for Ethiopia and the world. Zemi was an exceptional woman, an inspiring leader and advocate for children on the autism spectrum. She was a light to the world and will be missed.

I am deeply shocked and devastated to learn we have lost Zemi Yenus to COVID19. The kind and passionate Zemi was the founder of the Nia Foundation and Joy Autism center, which provides care for children with Autism.

As the guy who used to oversee that very aid, let me say explicitly: no amount of aid money can prevent this famine. Without massive political pressure on the Saudis, this is just window dressing.

Carol Larson @PackardFdn CEO lists 3 trends in #SHRH philanthropy: increased collaboration among private donors, impact investing (low interest loans, equity) and the importance of on the ground advocacy

Amanda Glassman @CGDev Family planning too often left out of public subsidies when universal health care instituted, in US and around the world. Could not be more true!

Amanda Glassman CEO @CGDev has 3 important criteria for global #SHRH funding: sufficient, stable, sustainable. All are challenged. @PackardFdn @JohnsHopkinsSPH @GatesJHU #ICFP2018

@PackardFdn Carol Larson and others advise: take risks, find connections between issues (e.g. family planning and education), and reach out to new philanthropy and new groups to bring new $ and new voices to field.

"I see three positive funding trends in family planning and reproductive health - greater funder collaboration, the power of impact investing, and a heightened attention to support advocacy," says Carol Larson during the #ICFP2018 panel on the changing landscape of philanthropy.
