Katy, who is based in Ottawa, Canada, spent close to a decade working for Canadian Parliamentarians in various roles at the House of Commons.

In 2012, shortly after the formal launch of the Global Fund Advocates Network, Katy joined International Civil Society Support to coordinate GFAN and bring together voices to support a fully funded and effective Global Fund.

JOANNE CARTER

RESULTS USA

Joanne Carter is the Executive Director of RESULTS and RESULTS Educational Fund since 2008. She works with key U.S. administration and congressional allies, partner organizations, and technical agencies to orchestrate U.S.A. and international campaigns to tackle major diseases of poverty, increase access to education, expand economic opportunity for the poorest, and reform World Bank and International Monetary Fund policies.

Under her leadership, RESULTS/REF has grown to include chapters now found in every state in the US. In that time, RESULTS was instrumental in the creation and expansion of the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund, expansion of global TB funding, and provisions that require U.S. representatives to the World Bank and IMF to oppose user fees for primary health and education. As founding Project Lead for ACTION, Joanne has helped build this global health advocacy partnership across ten countries on five continents and guide its efforts to help mobilize billions of dollars of financial resources to end diseases of poverty and ensure equitable access to health.
