🇳🇬 R4D Nigeria is in the news! R4D's Umar Kabo Idris joined a national workshop in Abuja on Nigeria's Local Vendor Policy — a push to grow local ICT capacity, create jobs & strengthen national security. 🔗 vanguardngr.com/2026/03/fg-pus…

In the opening presentation at the satellite session, Samantha Durdock, Market Shaping Advisor at @results4dev, stressed that the quality of maternal health medicines must be maintained throughout the system, from procurement to point of care.

The #USA has been one of @Gavi’s oldest and strongest partners. Together we have helped cut child mortality in half, immunised a whole generation of children, helped keep our world safe. In addition to our contribution to global health, @Gavi has shined a light on how to do development well: contributing to broader economic growth, societal cohesion and – importantly – helping countries get to a stage when they no longer need our help. I want to thank all of our partners in government, civil society, business and the media for their messages of support as we seek to secure the funds to continue our mission – and immunise a further 500 million children in the coming five years. With your support, Gavi will keep on delivering on its mission, keep on protecting the whole world with our stockpiles for #Ebola, #mpox and #yellowfever vaccines, and keep on generating huge returns on investment for our donors. #forourfuture: t.co/0C6OONQ9w3

#USA support for @Gavi is vital. With US support, we can save over 8 million lives over the next 5 years and give millions of children a better chance at a healthy, prosperous future. But investing in Gavi brings other benefits for our world and the American people. Here’s why:
