About ONE Campaign
ONE Campaign: Fighting for a Better World
ONE Campaign is a global advocacy organization that aims to end extreme poverty and preventable diseases, particularly in Africa. The organization was founded in 2004 by Bono, the lead singer of U2, and other activists who were concerned about the lack of progress in reducing poverty and improving health outcomes in developing countries.
The mission of ONE Campaign is to mobilize people around the world to take action on issues such as global health, education, gender equality, agriculture and food security, energy access, transparency and accountability. The organization believes that by working together with governments, civil society organizations and private sector partners we can achieve a world without extreme poverty.
ONE Campaign has over 9 million members worldwide who support its advocacy efforts through online petitions, social media campaigns and grassroots organizing. The organization also works closely with policymakers at national and international levels to influence policies that affect the lives of people living in poverty.
One of the key areas where ONE Campaign has made significant progress is in fighting preventable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria. Through its advocacy efforts, ONE has helped secure funding for life-saving programs such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS TB & Malaria which has saved millions of lives since its inception.
Another area where ONE Campaign is making an impact is on education. The organization believes that every child deserves access to quality education regardless of their background or economic status. To this end it advocates for increased investment in education systems particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where there are still millions of children out-of-school.
Gender equality is another important issue for ONE Campaign which recognizes that women are disproportionately affected by poverty due to discrimination based on gender norms. To address this issue it advocates for policies that promote women's empowerment including access to healthcare services including family planning services.
Agriculture and food security are also key areas where ONE campaign focuses its advocacy efforts given their importance for economic development especially among smallholder farmers who make up a significant proportion of rural populations across Africa.
Energy access is another area where ONE campaign seeks change given how important energy infrastructure can be towards achieving sustainable development goals especially when it comes renewable energy sources like solar power which have become increasingly affordable over time.
In conclusion,
ONE campaign continues to be at forefront advocating for change towards ending extreme poverty globally through various initiatives aimed at addressing issues affecting vulnerable communities across different regions around the world.
Through partnerships with governments,civil society organizations,private sector partners,and individuals alike,the organisation continues making strides towards achieving sustainable development goals while ensuring no one gets left behind.
