Gates Foundation Awards $10 Million to CDC Foundation to Establish MenAfriNet Meningitis Belt Surveillance
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In 2013, the Gates Foundation granted $10 million over five years to the CDC Foundation to create MenAfriNet, a case-based meningitis surveillance consortium covering Chad, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and Togo. MenAfriNet provides real-time epidemiological data to guide WHO outbreak response and vaccination decisions across the meningitis belt. Its evidence contributed directly to the WHO 'Defeating Meningitis by 2030' global roadmap and detected the rise of MenW and MenC serogroups following widespread MenAfriVac deployment.

Gates-backed World Mosquito Program reaches 16 million people protected from dengue via Wolbachia method
The World Mosquito Program — backed in part by the Gates Foundation — announced in January 2026 that its Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases had reached over 16.1 million people across multiple countries, including Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — which block dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever transmission — had established self-sustaining populations in treated cities without requiring ongoing releases. Gold-standard randomised trials in Indonesia showed a 77% reduction in dengue incidence. The program represented one of the largest and most cost-effective vector control deployments in history.
