Funding
In 2001, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded the World Health Organization (WHO) and PATH a US$70 million seed grant to launch the Meningitis Vaccine Project. Since then, other donors have stepped in to help move the MVP initiative forward.
‘Our journey together has just only begun. As we celebrate our alliance, let us not forget that we now need to focus on delivering concrete results.’ Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, Senior Advisor for MVP at the World Health Organization. |
Our list of major donors includes:
- Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
- USAID
- Michael & Susan Dell Foundation
- US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Groups or individuals interested in helping meet the funding gap for large-scale introduction of the meningococcal A vaccine in sub-Saharan Africa can contact info@meningvax.org for additional information.
