BOARD REPORT 1. Introduction The Stichting Joep Lange Institute for Global Health and Development(“JLI”), incorporated on July 17, 2015, is inspired by the life and work of Joep Lange. JLI combines science, activism, and pragmatism to reach its goal: making health markets work for the poor. Vision To make health markets work for the poor, game-changing social innovations are needed in the delivery and financing of healthcare. The digital revolution stimulates the development of technology that provides unprecedented opportunities to break the vicious cycle. Therefor the Joep Lange Institute (JLI) promotes a digital agenda for global health innovation to make health markets work for the poor. Mobile technology offers opportunities to make health care more effective and inclusive and to influence individual behavior. Mobile phones and technology are increasing access and allowing for highly targeted prevention and treatment. Mobile technology also generates a wealth of data, opening unprecedented avenues to improve health care quality and financing of health. Due to its wide adoption, also in the informal sector, mobile technology brings a truly inclusive market closer. Roles JLI wants to serve as a meeting place for influencers and innovators who wish to join JLI in becoming a catalyst for the creation of a sustainable health infrastructure in this new ecosystem. Together with a close network of partners - influencers, activists and scientists - JLI aims to spark discussions and shape agenda’s around new promising perspectives, test innovative ideas in a real world-setting, and advocate for policy change based on what works and what doesn’t. The foundation is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For more information on JLI, please visit www.joeplangeinstitute.org

2. Activities in 2017 JLI has supported a wide range of activities over the past year that contribute to the realization of its vision. Below we have highlighted a selection of research and projects we have supported and lectures and seminars we have organized. This section concludes with an overview of our activities in 2017. Highlights Mobile technology creates new possibilities to influence people’s behavior, also in the context of health. Everybody with a mobile phone once can be incentivized to (pre-)pay and save for health. Once we have the mobile relation with participants, we can also use mobile technology for better disease (self-) management and to nudge towards healthy living and help prevent NCDs such as diabetes and hypertension. This is why we work with JLI Chair and renowned behavioral scientist Dan Ariely. Together with Ariely and his team at the Center of Advanced Hindsight (CAH), we explore how to best help people make better financial and health decisions using modern marketing techniques. In collaboration with PharmAccess, Ariely and the CAH engage in multiple projects in Kenya. One of the projects is specifically aimed at helping people make better financial decisions. The team performs tests and (behavioral) research to discover how to best encourage M-TIBA users to set funds aside for health. In Amsterdam and Nairobi, we support a project focused on self-management hypertension, working with ahti and PharmAccess. Other JLI-supported innovative projects concern testing of Connected diagnostics, Mobile malaria drones and Mother & Child care self-management apps. All projects are executed in collaboration with various partners. Co-funded by Achmea foundation and executed by PharmAccess, JLI supports a project aimed at the development of an innovative financing mechanism to realize scaled Hepatitis C treatment in Cameroon. Cameroon has one of the highest Hepatitis C disease burdens in sub Saharan Africa. Despite a revolutionary new and effective treatment (Direct Acting Antivirals) recently becoming available also in Cameroon, access to this treatment remains extremely limited in the country. To achieve its goal, the team are carrying out activities to: • Prove that Hepatitis C treatment with Direct Acting Antivirals

results in a high cure rate in this specific setting (within a demonstration project of 150 patients)

• Determine direct and indirect costs of treatment and define cost reduction areas for the future

• Determine potential funding pools, both local and international • Determine the feasibility of various innovative funding models

within the regulatory/political context.

8

Once these vital data have been collected, the project will move to the next phase of the program with the goal to develop and put in place an innovative financing mechanism to implement Hepatitis C treatment, and scale this throughout Cameroon. By the end of 2017, 75 patients had been pre-enrolled into the program while 54 patients had received their first dose of Direct Acting Antivirals. We expect that by mid-2018 most of the 150 patient-target would have been reached. Further, candidates to carry out the costing study, funding model analysis and funding pool landscaping exercise have been identified and will begin their work in early 2018. JLI’s Chairs & Fellows program brings together experts from different backgrounds to collaborate on research that helps drive change in global health. In 2017 we had two renowned Chairs in the program: Dan Ariely, the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University and Mark Dybul, former Executive Director at the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. To influence policies and make change happen, JLI has organized a variety of lectures, seminars and panel discussions. Much effort was put in the so-called Noordwijk series, a series of meetings titled 'Ensuring Efforts to Scale up, Strengthen and Sustain HIV Responses'. This JLI-sponsored initiative aimed to identify realistic, evidence-based options and solutions for the next phase HIV response that are relevant for global, regional and local stakeholders. Its objectives were to articulate an approach for the HIV response that takes sharp aim at reducing the number of new HIV infections, streamlining and improving service delivery, efficiently targeting the use of resources, and building new and more sustainable approaches for funding. The initiative also aimed to provide detailed information and guidance for advocates, policy makers and others by examining the potential impact of reduced funding for the HIV response on scale-up strategies and through identification of key areas in which additional implementation research and/or advocacy is needed for continued scale-up of effective services. Under the guidance of Chairs Mark Dybul, Nduku Kilonzo and Lillian Mworeko, seven meetings were held over the course of the year. The meeting participants included leaders in the HIV and public health field (including Ministries of Health, Development Aid and Finance) from implementing and donor countries, WHO, UN agencies, NGO’s, community-based advocates and service providers, health care providers, and researchers. The series culminates in an official IAS preconference to be held July 22, 2018. Overview of projects and events Research and other projects (partly) funded by JLI: • Joep Lange Chair & Fellows program in collaboration with AIGHD • History (and future) of trust studies in collaboration with the

3. Financial During the financial year the income amounted to EUR 5,218,558 (2015/2016: EUR 5,804,854). The income consists of donations and grants by private (both for profit and not for profit) and public parties. The operating expenses are in line with JLI’s objectives and amount to EUR 4,040,592 (2015/2016 EUR 2,305,049). The operating result is EUR 1,177,966 (2015/2016 EUR 3,499,804). Together with the financial result, JLI has a surplus of EUR 940,861 (2015/2016 EUR 3,544,290) per year end 2017. This balance is available for JLI’s objectives in future financial years and will be added to the balance of income and expenditure. The financial statements reflect all activities of JLI. Per year end JLI had four employees. All supporting activities, such as management, finance & control and ICT, are contracted. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Guideline for ‘small organisations not-for-profit’ (RJk C1) of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board (‘Raad voor de Jaarverslaggeving’). Contrary to the Guideline for small organisations not-for-profit (RJk C1), the budget on overall level has not been included. Control is performed on program level. Financial risks are limited since JLI’s current contracted financial commitments are materially lower than its available resources. The available resources are held in cash on dedicated interest-bearing bank accounts and/or short-term deposits up to a year. JLI is exposed to currency results, as the funding is substantially received in USD and the functional currency is EUR. JLI does not work with ‘embedded derivatives’ and/or ‘hedge accounting’ and all larger programs are prefunded. Currency risks are, where possible and contractually allowed, settled at the relevant program level. Currently all JLI contracts allow currency risk settlement on program level.

11

4. Outlook 2018 Many of the projects listed above, continue in 2018. Next to our ongoing activities the JLI will further expand its activities. Below an overview of activities on the agenda for 2018. A major event for the JLI is the 22nd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2018). The conference will take place in Amsterdam, from 23 to 27 July 2018. JLI organizes a series of activities during the conference. It is here, where the Noordwijk series culminate in the JLI Preconference titled ‘Meeting 90-90-90 targets is not the end of AIDS’, which takes place on Sunday July 22. With our booth, a mobile experience and a series of Trigger Talks, JLI intends to inspire visitors of the conference with examples of what today’s knowledge and tools can bring to the table when it comes to chronic disease management, including HIV. Also, the Joep Lange Chair & Fellows program, expands. Since February of this year, health economist Anne Vassal from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. In the course of this year we hope to appoint our fourth Chair: Catherine Kyobutungi from the African Populations & Health Research Center, who will focus on the very topical issue of chronic disease management in Africa. Planned for events include lectures of Ariely with representatives of among others the food industry, and Tim Evans (World Bank) on the sustainable financing for Universal Health Coverage. During the year we expect to additional projects and events. 5. Governance JLI is a not for profit foundation with ANBI-status, incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands on July 17, 2015. JLI is managed by a statutory board of directors. Members of the statutory board are: • Onno P. Schellekens, chairman of the statutory board; appointed on

19

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES General The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Guideline for small organisations not-for-profit (RJk C1) of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board (‘Raad voor de Jaarverslaggeving’). A budget on overall level has not been included as control is performed on program level. The financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention and are based on going concern. Income and expenses are accounted for on accrual basis. Liabilities and any losses originating before the end of the financial year are taken into account if they have become known before preparation of the financial statements. If not indicated otherwise, the amounts of the accounts are stated at face value. Balance sheet Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are presented at cost less accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, less impairments. Depreciation is based on the expected future useful life and calculated as a fixed percentage of cost, taking into account any residual value. Depreciation is provided from the date an asset comes into use. Costs for periodical major maintenance are charged to the result at the moment they arise.

Receivables Upon initial recognition the receivables are valued at fair value and then valued at amortized cost. The fair value and amortized cost equal the face value. Provisions deemed necessary for possible bad debt losses are deducted. These provisions are determined by individual assessment of the receivables.

Cash The cash is valued at face value. If cash equivalents are not freely disposable, then this has been taken into account upon valuation.

Current liabilities Deferred income Deferred income consists of subsidy prepayments related to programs to be carried out less the realized costs of these programs, taking into account foreseeable losses on programs. Additionally, deferred income also relates to payments from donors related to programs that have not been recognized as income. Other current liabilities Upon initial recognition, liabilities recorded are stated at fair value and then valued at amortized cost.

20

Principles for the determination of the result Statement of income and expenditure Income and expenditure are recognized as they are earned or incurred and are recorded in the financial statements of the period to which they relate. Overhead expenses are excluded from program expenses and recorded in the operating expenses. Income ‘Income from donations’ relates to gifts from donors who support the general objectives of the foundation and is recognized consistently to the period to which it relates. Income from ‘Realized income related to programs’ is recognized in proportion to the completed program activities rendered on active programs, based on the cost incurred up to balance sheet date. The costs of these program activities are allocated to the same period. Direct program costs and donations to partners Direct program costs consist of expenses directly related to programs (out-of-pocket costs) excluding staff costs. Donations to partners, in line with the objectives of the foundation, are recognized when communicated to the partner(s). Recognition of transactions in foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. At year-end, the assets and liabilities reading in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the rates of exchange as per that date. Financial instruments Financial instruments include both primary financial instruments, such as receivables and liabilities, and financial derivatives. Reference is made to the treatment per balance sheet item for the principles of primary financial instruments. The foundation does not use derivatives and there are also no embedded derivatives. The foundation does not apply hedge accounting.

Principles for preparation of the cash flow statement The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method. The funds in the cash flow statement consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents can be considered to be highly liquid deposits. Cash flows in foreign currencies are translated at an estimated average rate. Exchange rate differences concerning finances are shown separately in the cash flow statement. Comparative figures have been adjusted for this cause.

Based on the following procedures performed, we conclude that the other information: • Is consistent with the financial statements and does not contain material misstatements • Contains the information as required by the Guideline for annual reporting for small organizations not-for-profit (RJk C1) of the

Dutch Accounting Standards Board We have read the other information. Based on our knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, we have considered whether the other information contains material misstatements. By performing these procedures, we comply with the requirements of the Guideline for annual reporting for small organizations not-for-profit (RJk C1) of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board and the Dutch Standard 720. The scope of the procedures performed is less than the scope of those performed in our audit of the financial statements. Management is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the management board’s report and other information in accordance the Guideline for annual reporting for small organizations not-for-profit (RJk C1) of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board.

Description of responsibilities for the financial statements Responsibilities of management for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with and other information. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. As part of the preparation of the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting framework mentioned, management should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion. Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included e.g.: • Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designing

and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control

• Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control

• Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management

• Concluding on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern

• Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures • Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair

presentation We communicate with management regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit.
