Unlocking Success Through Global Collaboration
Founded with the mission of “Scholarship and Science for Social Change,” we have been a trailblazer for innovation in the fields of family planning, reproductive health, and population dynamics for over 25 years. We have a strong track record of positive impact – whether we are supporting local partner capacity or translating science and evidence into policies, programs, and practice.
To continue achieving success, we rely on an expansive global network. Of the more than 370 institutions and local governments we have partnered with since our establishment in 1999, more than 90% are based in the global south. This network allows us to use a synergistic approach to create positive disruptions through all of our Gates Institute Global Programs.
In this next phase of our work, we will expand our engagement with non-traditional partners with a diversified funding base, continue to challenge the traditional power structures inherent in development work, and champion equity, transparency, and inclusive decision-making that strengthens country-based work and leadership.
