Dear Friends,
 
It was a pleasure to see many of you on Thursday’s call, Leveraging Data to Support LMICs Vaccine Prioritization. This call was an important moment in the overall movement towards ensuring equitable global Covid-19 vaccine distribution, and it was a privilege to be part of it. NetHope Members have a wealth of experience and insight to offer, and this call was a great opportunity to bring our community together with funding partners and other organizations at the forefront of this effort.
 

During the conversation, COVIDaction officially launched the exciting open call from the Vaccine Data Co-Lab. This is a key opportunity get financial support for work to close data gaps and advance equitable and effective Covid-19 vaccine distribution in low and middle income countries. Twilio.org also have an exciting funding opportunity for NetHope Members working to increase access to Covid-19 vaccines. Scroll down to find out more.

In other news from the NetHope community – we're very pleased to welcome our two newest Members, The Asia Foundation and Orbis. And we want to invite you to save the date for this year’s NetHope Virtual Global Summit. It will be happening in the week beginning 15th November 2021 and we would love to see you there!

As ever, we really appreciate your partnership with NetHope. We believe in the power of collective action, and you have a vital role to play.
 
Warmly, and in peace,
Lance Pierce
NetHope CEO
