The board includes Aliko Dangote, the President of the Dangote Group; U2's Bono; the former British Prime Minister, David Cameron; African good governance advocate, Mo Ibrahim; Susan Buffett of the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation; Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg; and the former US Secretary of the Treasury, Lawrence Summers. Jackie, a 2010 Tutu Fellow, was appointed to the 20-person board in May 2020.
Tom Hart, the Acting President and CEO of ONE, said he was delighted that Jackie was joining the Board and that he expected that her contribution would be invaluable in the fight to end the pandemic.

Co-founded by Bono and other activists, ONE is strictly nonpartisan, is not a grant-making organisation, and does not solicit funding from the public or receive government funds. It is funded almost entirely by foundations, individual philanthropists and corporate partners
