BMZ and Gates Foun­da­tion launch co­op­e­ra­tion in the family plan­ning sector

May 11th, 2012

On April 5th 2012, the Federal Ministry for Eco­nom­ic Co­op­e­ra­tion and De­vel­op­ment (BMZ) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foun­da­tion  jointly made a com­mit­ment for 20 million euros, with each side pro­vid­ing half of that amount, to sup­port family plan­ning pro­jects in West Africa. This agreement was announced on the occasion of the TEDxChange Event in Berlin (http://www.ted.com/pages/tedxchange_overview) where Melinda Gates made a presentation on the need to invest more in family planning.

Development Minister Niebel said: “Family planning is a de­ci­sive lever for bringing about a significant re­duc­tion of maternal and child mortality in developing countries. It thus also plays an im­por­tant role for the achievement of further Mil­len­nium De­vel­op­ment Goals, especially gender equality and the em­power­ment of women. The BMZ has adopted an Ini­tia­tive on Rights-based Family Planning and Maternal Health, thus setting clear prio­ri­ties, and it has more than doubled its bilateral commit­ments in 2011 over 2008 levels, bringing the total to nearly 100 million euros.”
