🚨 New Report Launch: Rethinking Rare Diseases – The Road to Recognition For the over 300 million people living with rare diseases, navigating healthcare systems often means long waits for answers, unmet needs, and limited and often expensive treatment options. Launching today on Rare Disease Day, our latest special report, supported by Amgen, explores how technology, advocacy, and policy shifts are shaping rare disease care. With the WHO Rare Disease Resolution advancing to a vote at the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 2025, this is a crucial moment to push for lasting progress in rare disease recognition, funding, and access to care.

The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting begins today in Davos, and CIFF is hosting two events in partnership with Brands on a Mission and Tiko. These two events, 'The Business Case for Investing in Africa' and 'The Business Case for Investing in African Girls,' will highlight the unparalleled growth potential of Africa and especially the continent’s women and girls, who are pivotal economic drivers. Investing in Africa is not just charity; it is smart business and Africa’s promise is not just about financial returns. Socially impactful investments in women and girls can drive progress toward eradicating poverty, achieving gender equity, and fostering inclusive growth especially as we approach the 2030 deadline of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The sessions are designed to: 🤝 Strengthen cross-sector partnerships 🌍 Amplify advocacy for investments focused on Africa 🎯 Secure actionable commitments that align business strategies with the SDGs Sophie Hodder, Director of Girl Capital Africa at CIFF, is present at Davos to represent our commitment to catalysing partnerships that enhance gender equity and stimulate economic growth and sustainable development across Africa. If you're attending Davos, we invite you to connect with Sophie to learn more about our Girl Capital work in Africa and join the conversations at these events to explore how businesses can play a transformative role in Africa’s growth. #Davos2025 #CIFFAtDavos #GenderEquity #Africa #SDGs #PrivateSector

“Bangladesh is the canary in the coal mine." With 67% of deaths now caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and a staggering 76 days of extreme heat recorded last year, the country’s healthcare system is being tested like never before. While 80% of Bangladeshis live within a 30-minute walk of a clinic, these facilities often lack the resources to meet the growing demand. Investing in primary healthcare systems can transform outcomes - like in Brazil, where strengthening community health worker programs boosted access to care by 450%. This isn’t just health policy, it’s a climate adaptation strategy. 👉 Discover why prevention is the most urgent priority in the op-ed by Asif Saleh from BRAC: https://lnkd.in/epiH8C6k #UniversalHealthCoverage #BRAC #PrimaryHealthcare #CommunityHealthcare #ClimateAndHealth

🌍 "It's Time to Empower Organizations Closest to the Problem" 🌍 In a new interview with Danish development media Globalnyt, Asif Saleh, CEO of BRAC, shares his insights on shifting the development paradigm to invest more directly in the Global South. 💬 “The way development is done must change. We need to give more space to organizations that are closer to the challenges, while also addressing the barriers of funding and capacity building” Asif Saleh visited Copenhagen mid-October to engage in critical discussions with Danish partners on development policy and extreme poverty. During his visit, he spoke about: ➡️ The power of locally rooted solutions designed with and for communities.  ➡️ BRAC's work in fostering scalable, practical programs like the Ultra-Poor Graduation approach, which has helped lift millions out of extreme poverty.  ➡️ The urgent need for locally-led climate adaptation to build resilience against climate shocks, ensuring solutions are context-specific and owned by the communities most affected. A thought-provoking read for anyone invested in equitable development and innovative solutions to tackle extreme poverty.
