Task Force for Child Survival

nodeMoney & Finance
A group that looks like a neutral health task force was started by a private foundation and four big agencies, and it went on to write global rules that mix human, animal, and environmental health.
Who they are

The Task Force for Child Survival, launched in 1984 by William Foege and convened by WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank, and the Rockefeller Foundation[1].

What they do

It is presented as a health group for children, but it also produced the Manhattan Principles in 2004 and the Berlin Principles in 2019.

How it works

The Task Force was started by William Foege and convened by four agencies, including the Rockefeller Foundation. It later introduced the Manhattan Principles at the Rockefeller Centre in 2004. Those principles became the Berlin Principles in 2019. The Task Force's own site says its early work focused on health issues affecting children. The record does not show that the Rockefeller Foundation directed the Task Force's operations or had command authority over the agencies.

Why it matters

It shows how a group focused on children's health became a source of global rules that link human, animal, and environmental health.
