Paul is based in Kenya and is currently organizing country-based coalitions that are increasing funding and programmatic demand on global health initiatives (GHIs) like the GFATM and PEPFAR, while also working to reform the way often-times invisible GHIs and international financial institutions to make them more accessible and accountable to poor people and PLWHAs at the front lines.
