Sometime in the last couple of days, an Anon said that we need to dig on DAI to find the powers behind the scenes. Can't find that post now because muh QResear.ch…?

Here is an old dig on DAI with some more recent digging added to it. If this isn't swampy, Anon doesn't know what is.

DAI has global reach, a fancy website, its founders are

=Harvard's Kennedy School of Government graduates==, they have a stated desire to "shape a more livable world", clients are [1. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), 2. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), 3. European Union], they have an interest in "Digital Principles" (Does that mean censorship?),

connections to,Haitiand

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Swedish International Development Agency, UNICEF, the UN Development Program (UNDP), the World Bank and the

=World Health Organization==. Hold on, Anon has to catch Anon's breath.

More swampy connections include but are probably not limited to Business for Social Responsibility, World Business Council for Sustainable Development,

Clinton Global Initiative, Council on Foundations, Global Philanthropy Forum, PEPFAR,

Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), vaccine development,

Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, Rockefeller Foundation, Walmart, and the World Bank Development Marketplace.

DAI Global Health Joins CEPI Partners Forum - April 20, 2017

"DAI Global Health has joined the Partners Forum of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), an alliance to promote vaccine development as part of the effort to prevent and respond to pandemic threats.

CEPI, funded by the Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust, European Commission, and the governments of Japan, Germany, and Norway, is a partnership between governments, industry, academia, philanthropy, intergovernmental institutions, such as the World Health Organization, and civil society."

"CEPI focuses on ensuring vaccine development gets the financing required for research and testing. “New vaccines could prevent deadly infectious diseases that have epidemic potential from becoming global health emergencies. But the vaccines we need aren’t being developed often enough or quickly enough,” reads the CEPI mission. “CEPI will overcome these barriers with a new model for funding vaccine developments against epidemic diseases. This will contribute to the health security the world needs.”

The purpose of the Partners Forum is to have an open platform for all organizations that work within the end-to-end scope of vaccine development, and to provide a model for engagement, early collaboration with CEPI and expression of support. The forum will be virtual, but likely complemented with annual or biannual meetings that take place in conjunction with other CEPI events. Membership is open to organizations willing to endorse CEPI’s mission."
