a proposal to the foundation. By completing these documents, we will be able to
learn specifically how IPI will use the funds Mr. Gates has committed to advance
our polio eradication efforts, as articulated in Melissa's July 12th email, below.
The documents will also ensure that both of our organizations have a common
understanding about the goals, objectives, activities and timeline for the work that
IPI will undertake with our support.

on August 5th. But for now, please familiarize yourself with the templates and we
will discuss them on our phone call. We of course will be happy to answer any
questions you have about the templates (we appreciate at first review they might
seem daunting), our process and anticipated timeline.

>• Grant next steps: Amy Carter and her team (Mito and Paul) are happy to talk
this through as we discussed. Will it work for you to talk August 5 at 9:30 AM

information that we'll need for a project proposal.
>• In-person meeting: We would love to meet in person, but given the number of
people from our side who would like to participate, are wondering if it'd be
possible for you to come to Seattle the first or second week of September. Please
let us know if this would be feasible and we can begin looking at dates. If not,
we'll see whether we could meet in NYC or elsewhere.
>• UNGA: Do you mind sharing with me the dates/times of the meeting/dinner with
foreign ministers so we can see if that's even feasible to consider during Bill's time
there?

> Thank you all so much for your time yesterday, it was very helpful to learn more about
IPI's work and areas of focus and how we may work together more closely. To
summarize our conversation, our primary objectives for our work in this space are
to:
>• Reduce number of inaccessible children to zero

EFTA01964366
>• Create safety for polio vaccinators/health workers and their security teams
> It sounds like IPI is best-placed to work with us in the following areas:
>- Providing research, analysis and insights of the political environment in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern Nigeria, and Somalia
>• Helping identify potential influencers/high-level contacts that can move the work
forward and recommendations for how/whether BMGF, GPEI UN partners
(UNICEF/WHO) and others should engage with such contacts
>• Convening foreign ministers and/or others at UNGA or related events in support
of polio eradication/immunization
> Please let us know what additional information might be helpful in order to outline a
very high-level set of activities over a 2-3 year period.
> Andrea, I realize it might be hard to connect again given your holiday but please let us
know if we can find a time to talk before July 23. (I'm out of the office from July
23-July 30.) Otherwise, I'll ask Mito to follow up in my absence.
