“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,” Okonjo-Iweala said.
“Let 2017 be a year of continued fight for fairness for the most vulnerable among us, and those left behind in this world,” she added.
