OUR ACTION PARTNERSHIP:

Thanks to your enthusiasm, motivation and willingness to hold our elected representatives to account RESULTS has achieved some remarkable outcomes in the past year. This in turn has helped improve the health and well being of the poorest people in the world.It is of course also thanks to our intelligent, dedicated and passionate staff who work long and hard to design and lead our campaign work and advocacy. In reflecting on the past year I am astounded at how much they have achieved under the direction of our CEO, Maree Nutt, who we thank sincerely for

her leadership. I also want to thank our Directors who make substantial contributions through their advocacy, personal donations and enrolment of friends and colleagues to support us. In addition I express gratitude to two committed Directors who resigned due to career pressures - Aldo King, our previous Chair and Dean Honan, our Treasurer. We thank them both sincerely and know they will remain strong friends of RESULTS.I can only imagine the challenges faced daily by poor families in developing countries but I know just how fortunate I am to have

won the lottery of life by living in Australia. That’s why I have become an active and engaged supporter of RESULTS.Thank you again for your time, commitment and valuable financial support of RESULTS. I trust you enjoy reading about our achievements in this report. I look forward to working with the Board, CEO and Staff in the coming years to grow RESULTS in strength, impact and influence and I look forward to meeting all of our members in due course.

When I look back over the past year, I liken RESULTS to a maturing tree. In 2014 our tree sent out deep roots so as to keep it steadfast and help weather approaching storms. As our tree grew taller and broader it gathered energy, became more visible and made more impact on the environment in which it stood.In 2014 we saw further cuts to the Australian aid program. And yet despite these difficult circumstances RESULTS helped to secure an additional

$50 million towards the life saving work of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.When one of the largest development conferences in the world (AIDS2014) headed to Melbourne, RESULTS was there supporting the first ever TBHIV networking zone which we helped to initiate.With coaching from RESULTS founder, Sam Daley Harris, the second half of 2014 saw us revamp some of our structures, start three new volunteer groups and inspire

Message from the CEO

4 5

In 2014 RESULTS UK and RESULTS Australia released a report, “Undernutrition in the Land of Rice“, on the issue of undernutrition in Cambodia. It revealed some distressing facts:

• On average undernourished children enroll in school later and complete fewer years of school.

• Only a third of undernourished children go on to secondary school with completion rates very low.

• Maternal undernutrition is high. Anaemia caused by low consumption of iron rich foods is very high in women of reproductive age and is a leading cause of maternal deaths and linked to adverse birth outcomes such as low weight babies.

• Despite an economic growth rate of 7% per year, 40% of Cambodian children under

five are too short for their age or stunted. So where did Cambodia go wrong in relation to nutrition related investment?

• A common understanding in the development community is that economic growth will improve nutrition. The Cambodian case proves

otherwise. Sadly, Cambodia is far from unique in struggling with this issue –14 countries have a child stunting rate of over 30% in the Asia Pacific region.

• Investments resulting from economic growth need to be funneled in a targeted way to have an improvement on nutrition.

• The report advocates for a stand alone indicator on nutrition and food security to be incorporated into the post-2015 development goals, to ensure nutrition is prioritised.

• The report which was highlighted in the media in Australia and Cambodia also emphasised that Cambodia needs to invest more in nutrition interventions.

INVESTING IN NUTRITION THE POWER OF VACCINES

Fast factsQ The first 1000 days of life – from conception to your

second birthday – are the most important for healthy growth and cognitive development.

Q Undernutrition is responsible for an astonishing 45% of all child deaths (over 3 million every year) yet only 0.4% of total aid funding globally is directed to nutrition specific programs.

Q Globally, around one in four children are too short for their age (stunted) due to poor nutrition.

Q Some of the highest rates of stunting occur in our own region. In Timor Leste for example, 58% of children under five are stunted.

Spotlight on Gavi in Laos:

By Murray Proctor

‘…This morning we witnessed a mass-vaccination at two schools in Vientiane. It was quite humbling to see a long line of girls waiting patiently for their (apparently quite painful!) jab, knowing that without Gavi and the Australian Government’s support, this vaccine would not be available. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine prevents about 70% of cervical cancer and is a vital tool to keep women and girls healthy in a country where routine screening for cervical cancer does not exist.

Gavi aims to reach 30 million women in more than 30 countries by 2020 with this life-saving vaccine, developed by Australian Professor Ian Frazer and his team at the University of Queensland...‘

Excerpt from blog post from consultant, Murray Proctor who was supported by RESULTS to join a Gavi led Parliamentary tour of Laos in October 2014.

Fast facts on VaccinesQ Vaccine preventable diseases kill 1.5 million children

under the age of five every yearQ Two of the leading causes of child mortality -

pneumococcal pneumonia and rotavirus diarrhoea can be prevented by a vaccine

Q Measles, one of the world’s most contagious diseases, still kills over 100,000 people each year.

Q ASIA joined the growing ranks of polio-free regions, the World Health Organisation declared in 2014.

Q Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is an organisation that subsidises vaccines for the poorest countries in the world. Since its establishment in 2000, Gavi has supported the immunisation of nearly 500 million children across the world and saved 6 million lives, nearly half of whom live in the Asia Pacific region.

RESULTS helps secure $50 million for Gavi

In 2014 RESULTS ran an intense campaign around letter writing, meeting Parliamentarians and social media to secure additional Australian aid funding for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Despite a backdrop of cuts to the aid budget and needing to respond to Ebola, a disease for which there is neither vaccine nor cure, in October the Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop announced an additional $50 million.to Gavi for the period 2011-2016. This brought Australia’s total pledge to $250 million over 5 years.

Our media release at the time said:

For every $1 invested by Australia into Gavi, over $8 has been invested in our region by Gavi. Our support to date has allowed at least 16 million children to be vaccinated. That kind of scale is something we could never do on our own.”

“We will never win the battle against AIDS until we combat TB”–

Nelson Mandela

This year our Education For All campaigning produced encouraging results with 23% of Australia’s overall aid budget being allocated to education.

However, our work to secure a generous pledge for the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) did not reflect this.

In June, the world came together in Brussels for the GPE’s second replenishment conference. The conference brought together 800 delegates including more than 40 ministers, education experts, and representatives from multilateral organisations, civil society, business and youth leaders from 91 countries.

Pledges of more than US$28.5 billion in additional funding for education for millions of children in more than 60 developing countries were made. The outcome was driven by commitments by 27 developing country partners to increase their own education

budgets by US$26 billion, or 25 percent, between 2015 and 2018.

In announcing a $140 million commitment to GPE, RESULTS witnessed Government cuts to our aid budget played out through an almost halving of Australia’s aid support. The drop in support appeared out of synch with Minister Bishop’s commitment to keep education as a ‘central pillar’ of the Australian aid program.

With aid to education falling by 10% in the last four years, and the target for the GPE fund not yet reached, donor country governments, including Australia, should meet the level of ambition set by developing country partners and those donors who have made significant contributions.

With your support, RESULTS will continue to advocate for the right for all children to go to school into 2015 and beyond.

Aid cuts hit good work of global education fund

Tuberculosis

Despite being preventable and treatable, the ancient disease of tuberculosis (TB) still claims 1.3 million lives per year.

There is no effective vaccine and the test to diagnose TB used in most of the world is over 100 years old.

TB is the leading killer of people living with HIV and AIDS. One in five people living with HIV is co infected with TB.

Lifting the profile of TB and HIV – the ‘deadly duo’

Spearheaded by RESULTS, the ACTION Partnership secured the first ever dedicated TB+HIV Networking Zone at AIDS2014, the 20th International AIDS Conference held in Melbourne from July 20-25, 2014.

Over 14,000 delegates from nearly 200 countries, including 1,200 journalists convened at AIDS2014 and for the first time ever at an international AIDS conference, TB was recognized as a neglected issue in the fight against AIDS, and the ‘deadly duo’ of TB and HIV was spotlighted in the TB+HIV Networking Zone.

RESULTS staff, volunteers and Board members joined our global health advocacy partners from ACTION at AIDS2014 with the purpose of profiling the issue of TB in the fight against HIV and AIDS, as well as the important role of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria in combatting these diseases.

These efforts were also greatly enhanced by working closely with international superstar and humanitarian Ms. Yvonne Chaka Chaka. The media that we were able to generate in the lead up to the Conference events also helped us to secure high profile meetings.

ENDING THE TB EPIDEMIC

Maree Nutt CEO

“It was very inspiring (and at times overwhelming) to be part of such an amazing conference where so many people, institutions, governments and organisations come together united for a common cause.”

Sarah Kirk Global Health Campaign Manager (Tuberculosis)

“The TB/HIV Networking Zone was a buzzing place during the conference. TB activists from all over the world presented, discussed their projects, argued for new initiatives and shared their wisdom.”

Nicole So Volunteer and #DeadlyDuo Mascot

“I have never been inside a mascot costume before. It was heavy and cumbersome.

Mostly, people wanted to hug me. Or pretend to fight me. But one lady chased and punched me. I could hear her say, ‘I hate you. I hate you. You took my brother. I hate you.’”

Personal insights from AIDS2014

“When we put education first, we can reduce poverty and hunger, end wasted potential – and look forward to stronger and better societies for all.”

Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations

Fast facts:Q 58 million children

worldwide are not in school and another 250 million children leave school without basic numeracy and literacy skills.

Q Girls in particular will achieve a 20 per cent increase in income for every year of schooling completed beyond third grade.

Q The Global Partnership for Education provides funding for 60 of the worlds poorest countries.

Remembering Mandela

Our Melbourne Hills group put on a night to remember, with South African superstar singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka sharing her memories of Nelson Mandela (and a song or two!) and local singer Dawn Faith entertaining us.Taking place the day after Mandela’s birthday, and on the eve of the International AIDS Conference2014, the event was a poignant and entertaining evening tribute to Nelson Mandela, and as well as a successful fundraiser for RESULTS.

GROUP AND VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES

Canberra Advocacy Trips 2014

In 2014 a small but committed group of volunteers joined RESULTS staff for advocacy meetings in Canberra. Emma from our Melbourne group successfully secured her MP’s signature to a letter of support for Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, in her first trip to Canberra. Our meetings also resulted in speeches in parliament and letters being sent to Ministers. Melbourne volunteer Emma Whitty meeting MP MIchael Sukkar

It was our biggest National Conference ever, and being held in Melbourne on the eve of the International AIDS Conference meant attendees interacted with an incredible array of local national and international speakers in plenaries and workshops. Many advocates also stayed on to volunteer and interact at AIDS2014.

RESULTS Sydney Northern Beaches volunteer and TB survivor,Lili Koch shared her story of surviving TB as a child, in her local paper. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop responded with her own Letter to the Manly Daily and soon after a commitment to renew funding was secured!

Mike Picone from RESULTS Hobart shares his thoughts.

In 2014 we had 49 letters to the editor published in 13 different national and local newspapers on a range of issues .

“I am proud of every Australian dollar that goes towards foreign aid. It reflects our generous spirit as Australians – a spirit to help others because we consider them partner nations, mates you might even say.”

– Nicole So, Australian Financial Review, December 3.

“The value of a cup of coffee in Australia can make a world of difference to the poorest of the poor. They share our world. We can share our wealth.”

– Peter Graves, Canberra Times, December 17.

“17,000 children die each day from conditions such as diarrhea, malnutrition and pneumonia… I wonder when these invisible deaths will be embraced as political commitments by wealthy nations. Only then will they matter and action be taken to prevent them.”

– Sue Packham, The Age, July 28.

A Princess comes to Hobart

The “Princess of Africa”, superstar pop singer and UNICEF ambassador Yvonne Chaka Chaka visited Hobart to meet with parliamentarians, local school children, receive a donation of malaria-preventing bed nets from a primary school, and to present her documentary The Motherland Tour.

“Having gone to the screening of The Motherland Tour, I learned those living in Third World countries want a hand up, not a hand out. ...(and) their birth on the other side of the globe limits their access to immunisations, treatment and education we privileged people take for granted.”

– Marie Gregory-Naum, The Mercury, July 31Image: Yvonne Chaka and boy
