Financing the Health MDGs: A Global Campaign for a Currency Transaction Levy

This report is based on a meeting held on 13 and 14 July 2009 in Washington, DC. Organized and hosted jointly by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance (IHAA), International Civil Society Support (ICSS) and RESULTS, the meeting aimed to develop strategies to increase support for, and the ultimate implementation of, a currency transaction levy (CTL) whose revenues would be used to expand and improve global health. The overall goal was to inaugurate a new civil society-led campaign for a CTL for health.
