In the 2025 Fiscal Year, we confronted significant funding and policy challenges and, remarkably, emerged with even more innovation and hope. 

Our mission – to address the world’s most serious and pressing threats to global health and strengthen the systems that protect and promote health – is built on the pillars of capacity-building and sustainability. This commitment led to significant achievements this past year in empowering countries to address their global health challenges more effectively. From neglected tropical diseases to health security and beyond, The Task Force supported countries implementing and institutionalizing lasting solutions based on their own health priorities. For example, working in partnership with the government of Niger, our Mectizan Donation Program contributed to the country’s milestone as the first in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the transmission of river blindness.

We are also proud to have expanded our reach to high-mortality regions in South Asia and Africa by welcoming the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) program to The Task Force. This international surveillance network is dedicated to dramatically decreasing child mortality and stillbirths by shielding pregnant mothers and families from the devastating impacts of health threats that jeopardize them and future generations.

As you scroll through our Fiscal Year 2025 milestones, we hope you feel inspired and heartened knowing that your support makes possible the foundation of these life-saving initiatives. Together, we will continue our work with country partners to increase access to life-saving vaccines, eliminate debilitating infectious diseases, and strengthen the public health systems that save lives and prevent the spread of epidemic disease. 

Thank you for your trust, commitment, and collaboration as we work together toward a safer, healthier world for all.
