While Western countries are paying the consequences of this crisis in the destruction of jobs, the tribute being paid by countries of the South is measured in human lives. Launched in 2006 by the governments of Brazil Chile, France Norway, and the United Kingdom and France, UNITAID, a veritable laboratory of innovative financing for development, is the first example of a contribution to solidarity decided and approved at the national level but managed on a supranational level.
    • Commissioned and funded by UNITAID
