Amazing progress has been made between 1980 and 2013: the percentage of immunised children worldwide grew from 20% to 84%. This equates to millions of lives saved and is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the number of children dying every year has more than halved in this period.

Steve Lewis from RESULTS is reporting on events in New York this week at the UN General Assembly
Yesterday I marched with over 300,000 people in New York, protesting against Climate Change and the weak global response so far. But why was I marching on an environment issue when my work with RESULTS is to manage health and nutrition advocacy?

Among the issues they will grapple with, two are of special interest to RESULTS and the development community – first, how to tackle Climate Change, and second, to make progress on fixing a new set of development goals.
RESULTS UK is pleased to announce a special event this autumn. On Wednesday, 29 October from 7 - 8:30 p.m RESULTS will welcome our founder and author Sam Daley-Harris for an outreach event and book signing.
