I was told that BMGF will not fund (directly) female condom projects going forward. There were some projects several years back but these are now terminated. As I was suspecting, for the most part it is an issue of procurement so this is now in hands of partners such as PATH, PSI Sorry that I can't be of more help Best Boris From: Sent: Saturday, November 3, 2018 11:32 AM To: Boris Nikolic Cc: jeevacation@gmal .com Subject: Re: Hi Boris EFTA_R1_01815393 EFTA02615625
Currently The Female Health division of VERU supplies approximately 50 million Female Condoms worldwide. BMGF has never funded the FC2 Female condom. I don't know why this is the case. The FC2 female condom is the most demanded and utilized female condom worldwide. It is supplied throughout Africa via UNFPA and bought directly by South Africa. Funding by UNFPA has dramatically decreased and we are unable to supply certain countries that have requested the female condom. For example, the following countries have requested the FC2 female condom but we are unable to supply: Uganda : 3 million units Ghana: 1 million units Botswana: 1 million units Tunesia: 1 million units Sierra Leone: 500,000 units Bolivia: 500,000 units Tanzania: 1 million units Haiti: 500,000 units Ethiopia: 1 million units Congo DR: 2 million units Boris, can you introduce me to the right person at BMGF to see if we can get grants to provide FC2 female condoms to all women who request them in Africa. Also attached is more information regarding the FC2 female condom. Would like to continue the conversation. Sincerely, Harry 2 EFTA_R1_01815394 EFTA02615626
