Utilise innovative finance models to deliver EWEC’s mandate

gap

•  Despite the overall increase for Reproductive Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH), there remains a massive funding gap

•  Global Strategy estimates at USD88 bn for the 2011–15 period just for the 49 lowest-income countries

•  Recent UN strategic assessment pointed out, “the history of financing for development has been characterized by fickleness, volatility and uncertainty. There is little to suggest that matters will be any different in the future.”

•  Financing from investors and increased investment by companies can be more significant N

Official sector flows •  Innovative fundraising for development

generated an estimated USD57.1 billion between 2000 and 2008

•  Potential for raising significant new resources is considerable

Private sector flows •  Investment capital represents a large pool

of financing with global financial stock standing at USD212 trn and growing

•  Investment managers consider Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors - market will reach USD25 trn by 2015

•  Impact investments emerging as an alternative investment asset - create positive impact beyond financial return

•  Forecasting over the next 10 years for invested capital of USD400 bn - USD1 trn

Global innovative finance

• Brief assessment of the investment industry reveals no specific MNCH-themed investment products

• To date incorporated as part of wider health sector investment structures (e.g. Henderson Horizons Industries, Allianz RCM Wellness)

• Within impact investing, a few investment funds for the health sector (e.g. Africa Health Fund) but it is early days

• Out of 2,200 impact investments worth over USD4 bn, only 59 investments totaling just under USD90 million have been completed in the health sector – none focus on MNCH

• Nevertheless, research indicates a growing appetite for health sector investments - could be as large as USD18bn – USD123bn

• EWEC’s mandate to improve MNCH could become a theme for such innovative financial vehicles and thereby attract more capital and close the current gap in funding

Opportunity for MNCH

Financial innovation opportunity for MNCH appears promising

Smart shopper notes that (product)RED items from top brands cost the same as non- (product)RED items. But choosing the (red) items means that up to 50% of profits made from those sales will go to help eliminate AIDS in Africa

The Global Fund uses 100% of this money to finance HIV health and community support programs in Africa, with a focus on women and children

The contribution helps people affected by HIV in Ghana, Swaziland, Rwanda, Lesotho and other countries to be granted (red) money in the future

The Result? Shopper has new (product)RED items from favorite brands at the same time helping to eliminate AIDS in Africa. They can continue to help when they choose other (red) products or donate directly to the Global Fund

When shopper chooses to purchase the (product) RED items the makers send a contribution of up to 50% of profits directly to the Global Fund – not to (red)

Added value to purchase decision

Funds direct to Global Fund

100% for HIV programs

Further (red) support

Direct private sector support

Source: The Global Fund press release, analysis

•  Solidarity contribution or 'tax' on airline tickets is 70% of UNITAID's financial base •  Tax is applied to all flights departing from countries imposing it and is paid by passengers •  For passengers, the cost of the air tax is very low compared to the total cost of a ticket •  Different rates can be set according to a country's level of development and there is an

extra option to vary the charge according to the distance traveled •  As of September 2011, nine of UNITAID's 29 member countries were implementing the

airline tax: Cameroon, Chile, Congo, France, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, and the Republic of Korea

UNITAID - funding through airline ticket tax
