Gates Foundation Pledges $560 Million at London Summit on Family Planning
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
At the London Summit on Family Planning on 11 July 2012 — co-hosted by the UK government and the Gates Foundation — Melinda Gates pledged an additional $560 million over eight years, doubling the foundation's commitment to voluntary family planning and bringing its total to more than $1 billion through 2020. The summit generated $4.6 billion in total donor commitments with an explicit goal of making modern contraception available to an additional 120 million women and girls in the world's poorest countries by 2020, without coercion. The pledge was the largest single family planning commitment in the foundation's history.

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.
