The Microsoft founder said he is lending his “credibility” to the Geneva-based Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria by making the donation through a promissory note so the fund “can immediately use the money and save lives.”
Gates’ announcement at the World Economic Forum – a magnet for the world’s business and political elites who pushed for the fund’s creation – was part of an orchestrated attempt by the fund to galvanize donors on its 10th anniversary.
“These are tough economic times, but that is no excuse for cutting aid to the world’s poorest.”
