Each month we share a well-researched campaign action with our grassroots network. Our action materials include the context of the campaign, additional information, tips and guidance. The 'call to action' each month is often to write to, and engage with MPs and Government Ministers. Who you write to depends on who RESULTS UK policy and parliamentary teams think we can influence the most! We have guides available to help you take these actions.

On September 16 in Montreal, Canada, the international community will come together to pledge resources to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria for the next three years. This is the first big test of the world’s commitment to the new Global Goals. Ambitious pledges from donors such as the UK will enable the Global Fund to really get moving on reaching the aim of ending these three epidemics by 2030.

For the two billion people around the world who depend on smallholder farming for their livelihoods, extreme weather can push them into poverty. Climate risk insurance (CRI) is a tool that can help people build their resilience, plan their future and recover when disaster strikes.
Good nutrition is critical for a healthy and productive life. This month, we are launching our “Healthy Lives” campaign, asking you to run a local ‘Healthy Lives’ event, if possible in conjunction with Jamie Oliver’s ‘Food revolution’ which works to educate, inspire and empower people worldwide about the importance of good nutrition.
The impacts of climate change are being felt across the world, particularly by the poorest communities, including the two billion people dependent on smallholder farming. Insurance can be one important way to help people like smallholder farmers protect their livelihoods from increasingly severe and frequent extreme weather events.
In December, the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria set out an Investment Case for its fifth replenishment, calling for donors to contribute US $13 billion for the period 2017-19. This investment is required to save eight million lives, bringing the total lives saved to 30 million by 2019, and is urgently required if we are to meet Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 in line with global plans to end AIDS, TB and malaria. There will be a final pledging conference in autumn 2016, and RESULTS and our global partners will push for the $13 billion funding request to be met.
In 2016, RESULTS will be campaigning on three important issues: replenishing the Global Fund to End HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria; Nutrition for Growth; and Climate risk insurance.
We all want to ensure that our children have healthy lives. Yet TB – the world’s most deadly infectious disease – is responsible for far too many unnecessary deaths. Diagnosis and treatment rates are unacceptably low. On 20 November, the United Nations’ Stop TB Partnership released an ambitious new Global Plan to End TB, showing how the world can end tuberculosis (TB) within a generation. At the current rate of progress, it will take 150 years to end TB. The new Plan shows what we need to do now to meet the target of ending TB by 2030.
