Further to a proposal from the Chair, the Committee Members agreed to conduct all future Advisory Committee meetings in May, to coincide with the annual WOAH General Session. The reasoning is that an in-person meeting would foster networking and discussions among the Members and provide an accurate overview of financial performance for the previous year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23943\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletin.woah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WF2020FinancialPerformanceGraph.png\" alt=\"World Fund Financial Performance 2022 Graph\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulletin.woah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WF2020FinancialPerformanceGraph.png 680w, https:\/\/bulletin.woah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WF2020FinancialPerformanceGraph-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/bulletin.woah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WF2020FinancialPerformanceGraph-600x337.png 600w, https:\/\/bulletin.woah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WF2020FinancialPerformanceGraph-134x75.png 134w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #ff4815;\"><strong>2022: a record year in review<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>An overview of last year\u2019s financial performance was presented using the World Fund\u2019s six key financial performance indicators. In particular, the presentation focused on annual income and expenditure, outstanding monies owing, number and value of signed grants, number and value of active grants and 2022 investment priorities related to the Seventh Strategic Plan. Highlights showed that the World Fund&#8217;s income follows an upward trend consistent with previous years.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #ff4815;\"><strong><em>2022 marked the Fund&#8217;s record year with the highest income received since its foundation in 2006. This reflects continued trust and confidence in the Organisation. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>WOAH Members remain the principal investor and provide 75% of annual income, with five donors contributing 51% of the World Fund&#8217;s total funding over the period 2018-2022. The presentation also showcased areas of intervention deemed strategic for WOAH and that require investment. Key examples are the continued evolution of the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS), as a part of information management, and wildlife and Avian Influenza, under the Organisation\u2019s global frameworks.<\/p>\n<p>Participants congratulated WOAH for the clear presentation that highlighted new indicators and perspectives. Further to a query on how to mobilise more non-earmarked investment, the topic was put on the agenda for further discussion at the next meeting in May.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff4815;\"><strong>Strategic reflections for 2023 and beyond<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Dr Monique Eloit, WOAH Director General, provided her strategic reflections, noting the role played by the Members in providing much-needed complementary resources for the Organisation to deliver its mandate and implement the Seventh Strategic Plan.

The findings will be presented at the next meeting in May.
