Discussing the transition from Gavi and other concessional Financing such as IDA, Global Fund, Pepfar, with Finance ministers from middle-income countries.

How do finance ministers manage the multiple transitions and make the requisite tradeoffs? How do they interact with their health colleagues in making such decisions? How do we protect and ensure sustainability of financing for immunization, health, and other crucial human capital expenditures so central to development?
Co-chairing a dinner with Bill Gates to discuss the above issues with Ministers of Finance from Georgia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ghana, Angola, Kenya, Bangladesh, and Sudan on the sidelines of the World Bank-IMF spring meetings in Washington.
