SOLIDARITY LEVIES AIM TO SHARE THE BENEFITS OF

GLOBALISATION

This mechanism involves a surcharge on a major economic activity, enacted by a government and earmarked for a specific cause. For example, an air ticket levy has raised billions for UNITAID.

My friend Leonard Lerer and I founded IFF to build on the amazing work we did at the Global Fund, using financial innovation to raise new resources and create new impact for the common good.

IFF continues this quest by bringing together public policy, financial markets and business expertise for unique fund-raising collaborations that go beyond traditional philanthropy.
