Comment

The last two thirds of the section on climate change refers to a different Raj Shah (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Raj_Shah ), and thus should be deleted

Its particularly problematic that there are so few citations throughout this entry. 01:13, 4 July 2018 (UTC)Bangabandhu (talk) 01:13, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

COI Edit Request to Add Content

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

Hello: I am requesting suggested edits as a COI/paid editor on this page for Rajiv Shah. My intention is to make improvements to this page and Wikipedia as a whole, while upholding the standards of Wikipedia. The reason for these edits is to update the page with recent information involving the Foundation.

My edits are as follows:

In the Rockefeller Foundation section, I would like to add this sentence at the end of the paragraph- The mission of the Foundation is to improve the lives of humanity around the world.^[1]

Then I would like to add the following new sections. There will be more content to come as we get it properly sourced.

COVID-19 Crisis Response

The Rockefeller Foundation became involved early on in response to the COVID-19 crisis by rapidly mobilizing $100M, and working with Congress to secure $25B for funding in the US.^[2] This included the recommendation for worldwide testing and tracing in partnership with the US Department of Health and Human Services that was piloted throughout the United States.^[3] In mid-April 2020, The Foundation had launched the National COVID-19 Testing and Tracing Action Plan, a $100 billion project to ramp up COVID-19 rapid antigen tests to 3 million per week by June and 30 million per week by autumn of that same year. A major goal of the plan was to push through test results in order to understand where in the US it may be safe enough to return to some semblance of normal economic life ensuring essential businesses and institutions could remain open during the pandemic.^[4]^[5]^[6]

By the summer of 2020, the Foundation was collaborating with a bipartisan group of governors from multiple states to generate a testing compact. Negotiated by Republican Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland, chairman of the National Governors Association, governors from Louisiana, Michigan, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia were among those on board.^[5] This compact funded over 3 million “rapid point-of-care” tests allowing states to come together to expand long-term coronavirus testing in key settings and produce results that could be available within 15 minutes.^[7]

Business and Finance

In 2020, the Foundation leveraged proceeds from its first-ever bond offering and committed $1B towards COVID-19 recovery and investments in renewable energy. The strategy facilitates renewable energy across developing countries while ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 tests and vaccines.^[8]

Thank you for reviewing this content for inclusion. LeepKendall (talk) 02:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LeepKendall, this content seems more suited for the page on the Rockefeller Foundation than the page on this individual. I suggest you take your proposed additions to the Talk page there and see if other editors wish to add them to that page. Ganesha811 (talk) 01:16, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response User:Ganesha811. We certainly will be working to add this to the Rockefeller Foundation page, however, it first needs some reorganizing. I would like to add something about the Foundation's initiatives under Rajiv Shah. Do you think a list of those that have been initiated since he's been president would be appropriate? Thank you! LeepKendall (talk) 18:11, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Ganesha811: Can we at least add this edit to Raj's page at the end of the last sentence in the Rockefeller Foundation section??

The mission of the Foundation is to improve the lives of humanity around the world.^[1]

Thank you! LeepKendall (talk) 19:39, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd say that's a reasonable addition to clarify for the reader what the Foundation is. I'll add it. Ganesha811 (talk) 20:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much User:Ganesha811. LeepKendall (talk) 17:16, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
