R otary International has made a new funding commitment of US$75 million over three years to
the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). Rotary, which has already contributed nearly
$1.2 billion to the GPEI, announced the commitment at a 27 September high-level side event
on polio eradication, convened by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during the United
Nations General Assembly in New York.
The side event -- “Our Commitment to the Next Generation: The Legacy of a Polio-free World” --
brought together leaders of the remaining endemic countries, and representatives of donor
governments, development agencies, the GPEI partners, and the media to underscore the urgent need
to finish the job of global polio eradication. Although the wild poliovirus is endemic only in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria, other countries are still at risk for re-established transmission of
the virus through its “importation” from the endemics.
Ban urged UN member states to ramp up their support for the GPEI, launched in 1988 by Rotary, the
World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The
partnership now includes the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the United Nations
Foundation.
“This decisive moment is a matter of health and justice. Every child should have the right to start life
with equal protection from this disease. That’s why I have made eradicating polio a top priority for my
second term as Secretary-General,” said Ban.
New donors
“Governments need to step up and honor their commitments to polio eradication if we are to achieve
our goal of a polio-free world,” said Wilfrid Wilkinson, chair of The Rotary Foundation. “We are at a
true tipping point, with success never closer than it is right now. We must seize the advantage by acting
immediately, or risk breaking our pledge to the world’s children.”
