Bill Gates pledged that the majority of the Gates Foundation's $200 billion endowment will be allocated to Africa over the next two decades. Speaking in Ethiopia, Gates emphasized the importance of partnership and innovation in addressing health and development challenges. He highlighted primary healthcare's role in enhancing health outcomes, particularly for mothers and young children. Gates recognized several African nations as demonstrating strong leadership in innovation, although he did not address human rights allegations against some governments. He reinforced the foundation's commitment to Africa and noted expansions in office locations across the continent.
"By unleashing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be on a path to prosperity and that path is an exciting thing to be part of."
"Investing in primary healthcare has the greatest impact on health and wellbeing, helping the mother be healthy and have great nutrition before and during pregnancy delivers the strongest results."
