PURE METTLE
The Passion, Activism and Stamina of Global Health Heroes
FY2021 Annual Report
SCROLL DOWN
Into the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 5.5 million people have died. The toll is among the worst outbreaks in history and the number of cases and deaths continues to climb. The burden extends beyond lives lost, with impacts on education, livelihoods, and mental, physical and social health that will only be understood years from now.
In the midst of all this suffering, one thing stands out. Every day, despite the challenges, fatigue and uncertainty, in communities around the world, people are working hard to save and improve lives.
This is the essence of mettle.
met·tle /ˈmedl/ noun
A person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way.
In honor of all those showing their mettle, this year’s annual report highlights individuals who inspire us. From health workers to community members to government officials to activists to scientists to donors, they remind us that, even in the most trying times, our individual actions have a collective impact.
As an organization rooted in collaboration, we are thrilled to shine a light on Task Force partners, allies and others working alongside our programs to advance health equity.
We hope the people highlighted below will inspire you as they do us.

These stories, and the events of the past year, also remind us that we can always improve. With nearly 40 years of experience in more than 150 countries, The Task Force is contributing to global efforts to strengthen systems for disease surveillance, outbreak control, treatment, and vaccine access. Our increased focus on domestic and global advocacy seeks to advance policies and programs that enable all people to achieve their full potential. In addition, our Council for Opportunity, Diversity and Equity (CODE) has hosted a series of initiatives, including the Faces of Global Health series, to promote equity and improve diversity and inclusion in both our organization and community.
GLOBAL & U.S. FEDERAL POLICY
As a formal partner of the World Health Organization and the United Nations, through our non-State actor agreement, The Task Force has actively engaged in global negotiations to improve pandemic response and preparedness. Task Force experts spoke this year at the World Health Assembly, regional meetings, and the UN Human Rights Commission. In select national forums, The Task Force has advocated for strong public health systems and vaccine delivery programs in low- and middle-income countries.
CODE: Council for Opportunity, Diversity & Equity
The Task Force for Global Health’s Council for Opportunity, Diversity and Equity (CODE) group launched a panel series called the Faces of Global Health to highlight the diversity of experiences and promote inclusion in public health. Six different panels explored questions about how one’s race, history, culture, gender, sexual orientation, or disabilities affect their experience working in public health. CODE’s mission is for The Task Force to become a role model by being actively engaged in diversity and equity efforts, and to help foster a sense of belonging in our organization and community through education, action, and public health services.
