Gates Foundation doubles down on foreign aid as U.S. government largely withdraws | Fortune
"Instead, the foundation - one of the largest in the world - will concentrate at least 70% of its funding over the next 20 years on ending preventable maternal and child deaths and controlling key infectious diseases. A third goal focused on poverty will divide its work between U.S. education and agriculture in poorer countries. 'We are saying not only will we not be taking on new priorities, we're actively narrowing our priorities against three core North Star goals,'"
The Gates Foundation will not change course despite massive foreign aid cuts and will focus resources on established global health priorities. The foundation will concentrate at least 70% of its funding over the next 20 years on ending preventable maternal and child deaths and controlling key infectious diseases. A third goal focused on poverty will split work between U.S. education initiatives and agricultural programs in poorer countries. The foundation will narrow efforts to three core priorities, continue advocacy for donor funding of global health, and proceed toward planned closure in 20 years, earlier than previously planned.
