New campaign marathon<\/h3>\n

The pledging marathon that started on\u00a04 May<\/a>\u00a0will now see the launch of a new campaign with the international advocacy organisation\u00a0Global Citizen,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cGlobal Goal: Unite For Our Future\u201d,\u00a0<\/em>that will culminate in a Global Pledging Summit on Saturday 27 June.<\/p>\n

Together with\u00a0Global Citizen<\/a>, the Commission will step up the mobilisation of funding to enable the world to overcome this pandemic \u2013 and avoid another.<\/p>\n

This is a new stretch in raising support for the\u00a0ACT-Accelerator<\/a>, launched by the World Health Organization with governments and partners through a global call for action on 24 April 2020.<\/p>\n

Next phase marathon with a new campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n

The outcome of the 4 May<\/strong> pledging event shows the willingness and capacity of the world to join forces and pool resources to overcome the pandemic. It bodes well for the unprecedented international collaboration and resources needed for the production, procurement and distribution of vaccines, treatments and tests.<\/p>\n

The magnitude of the task requires the mobilisation of citizens globally. During the next four weeks, Global Citizen will lead the \u201cGlobal Goal: Unite for our Future\u201d campaign, with the European Commission as patron and Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust as partners.<\/p>\n
