The donation was sourced from an underspend in the 2020/21 international development budget.

While South Africa is not a low developed country on the UN HDI, WHO has identified that it is one
of a number of countries facing funding gaps in its COVID 19 response programme. When using the
funds, WHO will prioritise operations most in need in these countries.
The Island shares strong historical, business and cultural links with South Africa and earmarking

Madagascar’s HDI (human development index) value for 2019 is 0.528—
which puts the country in the low human development category—positioning it
at 164 out of 189 countries and territories.
At 592,800 square kilometres (228,900 sq mi) Madagascar is the world's
second-largest island country.
These two factors link Madagascar to the Isle of Man’s priorities of showing
leadership to other islands and small countries, and prioritising support to
countries ranked as low development on the UN’s Human Development Index.

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, off the
western equatorial coast of Central Africa. It consists of
two archipelagos around the two main islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, about
140 km (87 mi) apart and about 250 and 225 km (155 and 140 mi) off the
northwestern coast of Gabon.
São Tomé and Príncipe is ranked as one of the world’s least developed
countries according to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs
Economic Analysis statistics2, which measures gross national income, ‘human
assets’ (maternal and infant mortality, percentage of the population
undernourished), and economic vulnerability. The country is ranked as
Medium Development on the UN Human Development Index.
Directing funding to São Tomé and Príncipe would support the Island’s priority
of showing leadership to small islands and countries.

Dear Erica,
We shared the proposed press release with our Communications team and they have suggested
for your consideration revisions as below. We understand the rationale at your end to include
the additional paragraph on South Africa, our Comms colleagues advised instead the text
justifying the contribution to South Africa could instead be used in response to any questions if
they come up. I am also looping in
from the Communications Team at WHO HQ,
as she would be able to advise on disseminating this news at our end, through the recipient
WHO Country Offices or the Regional Office for Africa.

The Isle of Man Government has donated £800,000 to the World Health Organization (WHO) to help
with the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The money will be used to support the WHO’s COVID-19 work in Madagascar and South Africa,
which forms part of its wider COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan.
The WHO has identified a number of countries where there are significant funding gaps in tackling
the pandemic. Madagascar was selected as it continues the Isle of Man’s efforts to support small
Islands and countries, particularly those ranked as ‘low development’ on the United Nations Human
Development Index. South Africa was selected in view of the current funding gaps in the country’s
COVID-19 response, and to reflect the Island’s positive cultural, historical and business links .
The £800,000 in funding comes from an underspend in the 2020/21 international development
budget, which was unable to be allocated, with Government focused on responding to the pandemic.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK said: “We have heard time and again that no one is safe until
everyone is safe. A pandemic does not respect nationality or international borders. We must tackle
COVID-19 collectively, as a global community. The rapid spread of COVID has shown us how
globally connected we are and I am delighted that the Isle of Man can support the World Health
Organization in its vital work to respond to the pandemic.”
The funding will be used by the WHO to cover several aspects of the COVID-19 response in
Madagascar and South Africa, including vaccine roll out and directing resources to areas most in
need, such as work to ‘suppress transmission, protect the vulnerable, reduce mortality and morbidity,
and accelerate the development of the tools the world needs to turn the tide against the disease’
[WHO COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan].
While South Africa is not a low developed country on the UN HDI, WHO has identified that it is one
of a number of countries facing funding gaps in its COVID 19 response programme. When using the

Good afternoon
,
Further to my earlier email, we propose adding the following paragraph to the press release in
reference to the decision to earmark funds to South Africa (quoting from the published SPRP
document). We anticipate that there may be a question on the decision to donate to South
Africa and hope to pre-empt this by providing as much information as possible upfront.
While South Africa is not a low-developed country on the UN HDI, WHO
has identified that it is one of a number of countries facing funding gaps
in its COVID-19 response programme. When using the funds, WHO will
prioritise operations most in need in these countries.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Good morning
I hope this email finds you well.
I just wanted to pass to you a draft press release that we will hopefully be sending out shortly
after internal approvals have taken place. If you can let me know that you are content with this,
I would be grateful.
Could you also please provide any tags for our social media activities please – we tend to use
Twitter and Facebook to communicate IOM Government developments. We will, of course,
send you hyperlinks to the relevant posts once they go.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Erica
