Attended an important dinner at the home of John Monahan and his wife
Annie at 3340 - Runneymede Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. to discuss the relationship
between PEPFAR and USAID with regard to the new Office of Global Health
Diplomacy. John formerly worked in the Clinton Administration and for the past 4 years
has been Counselor to Secretary Sebelius in HHS and Acting Director of the Office of
Global Health Affairs at HHS. He recently moved to the State Department to help with
the Global Health issues there. Hillary Clinton had just established this Office of Global
Health Diplomacy and made Eric Goosby (Director of PEPFAR) the Director of the
Office with Ambassador Louise Rowe as Deputy. Apparently Raj Shah and the USAID
are trying to take control over this new initiative that has just been put out by the Obama
administration. Raj has been trying to take over PEPFAR for some time now without
success. I have been backing Eric Goosby from the very beginning since I believe that
Raj is driven by ambition on the background of a terrible track record of USAID. In the
second Obama administration the people in the State Department and in the White House
are trying to create a legacy for Pres. Obama with regard to global health. They believe
that this new office of Global Health Diplomacy could be the vehicle to do that. Right
now it appears that we are engaged in the struggle Raj Shah and USAID wanting to take
over the process. The dinner included a number of people with knowledge in the field.
Participants included John Montague his wife Annie, Francis Collins, Tom Frieden,
Peggy Hamburg, a woman from the State Department (Laurie) who worked in the
Clinton Administration, Nils Daulaire, and a number of other people. The plan discussed
at the meeting was to help support Eric Goosby is trying to make the office of global
health diplomacy a productive and viable enterprise and to ward off any attempts on the
part of USAID to take it PEPFAR and the new office. Tomorrow I will go to the State
Department for the first of the number of meetings that will address this issue. More to
follow on this subject.
