Gates Teams With Africa's Richest Man, Aliko Dangote, to Fight Disease in Nigeria
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In 2013, Bill Gates forged a high-profile partnership with Aliko Dangote — Africa's richest man — to fight disease in Nigeria, pairing the Gates Foundation and the Dangote Foundation with northern Nigerian state governments on polio eradication, routine immunization, primary health care, and nutrition. The alliance of the world's and Africa's leading philanthropists helped push Nigeria toward eliminating wild polio (no cases since 2016). The Gates Foundation has committed roughly $1.6 billion in Nigeria — its single largest country investment in Africa.

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.
