There are many projects that BMGF specifically do not fund directly (especially if it has to do with a delivery, procurement etc) but through partners such as PATH, PSI etc. There are some projects that BMGF funded a lot such a male circumcision but got eventually transferred to the partners. It will take me few days to find out as I do not know the new director of Reproductive Health (they changed few since I left!) and strangely RH is a part of global development (not a Global Health). Please ping me in a week or so.

BMGF has never funded the FC2 Female condom. I don't know why this is the case. EFTA_R1_01818211 EFTA02617028
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_01818212 EFTA02617029
