Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Bags Global Fairness Award

At the Global Fairness Awards with Dr Danilo Turk, former President of Slovenia and Chair, Board of Trustees Global Fairness award, and Ms Andrea Rhoane, Presenter Channel 9 and MC of the Awards.

Grateful for the honor of receiving last night in Washington DC the Global Fairness Award given to leaders who have contributed to Sustainable Development through serving others, especially the grassroots with policies, programs and action.

I congratulate my fellow awardees Dr Cristina Liamzon and Ms Randi Weingarten.

I appreciate the Trustees of the Global Fairness Award for recognizing a lifetime devoted to development, including the privilege I have now of working for children's immunization, through Gavi, and for managing climate risk in Africa through the African Risk Capacity.

Let 2017 be a year of continued fight for fairness for the most vulnerable among us, and those left behind in this world.
