Summary

To achieve sustainable development goals, innovating financing will become more than crucial to complement ODA flows. Thus, the objectives of this high level event will be three-fold: First, assess the overall context of innovative financing for development. Second, highlight the gains of innovative financing towards the achievement of global health target, specifically for HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Third, provide illustrative cases of public health investments resulting from the work of UNITAID and the Medicines Patent Pool which succeeded in giving access to life-saving treatments. Generally, this event will contribute to the FfD discussion in demonstrating how innovative financing leverage on global public health can bring new solutions with catalytic impact on health interventions.
