The coalition includes representatives of the most affected countries, bilateral and multilateral donors, NGOs and UN Agencies and Foundations. It is a rich and diverse group who share a common purpose: to confront and end the Ebola outbreak.
The UN Secretary-General established the Global Ebola Response Coalition in September 2014 to provide strategic coordination of the Ebola response. The Special Envoy on Ebola convenes the Coalition on a weekly basis. Read the meeting notes.
