Tips for using these slides • As you prepare for your meeting, here are some quick suggestions for powerfully using these slides: • Plan an agenda for your meeting, around an hour. Be sure to include an introduction of RESULTS and time for attendees to take action. • The slides contain three videos, one each on maternal health(slide 4) , the Global Fund(10), and early childhood development(17). You can find the links to these slides in the notes on the respective slide. We suggest opening the links in advance of the meeting to ensure videos are ready to view. • Include time in your agenda for attendees to take action after the presentation. You can find links to actions on the Take Action slide.
1 Perception vs. Progress • A new survey across 26 countries reveals a startling public perception of extreme poverty. • Nearly 9 in 10 people feel the state of extreme poverty has either become worse or not improved in the last 20 years. • Only 8% of U.S. respondents feel extreme poverty has declined. • When asked if ending global poverty is possible, 67% of respondents feel it is “very unlikely to rather unlikely” to end global poverty by 2030.
2 Perception vs. Progress • In fact, rates of extreme poverty have been more than halved. • What does it mean that this perception exists? Will people take action when they believe our efforts thus far have not been successful? We need to change this narrative. Here are the facts:

In just the past year… • RESULTS advocates secured a multi-year $4.3 billion pledge to the Global Fund and $12.9 billion in pledges to the Global Fund worldwide. • RESULTS advocates have also secured key legislative victories on appropriations, as well as an historic level of bipartisan support on maternal and child health legislation. • Then and Now: Progress Toward the End of Extreme Poverty
