Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates will be in Nairobi, Kenya, from today to meet key government officials, private sector players, regional scientists and innovators.
The co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is also expected to announce the foundation’s forward-looking commitment to support new innovations and ingenuity aimed at improving health, food security, and gender equality in African countries.
Gates and other foundation leaders will also visit smallholder farmers outside of Nairobi who are using digital tools to help with climate adaptation, see how primary health care clinics have delivered care during the pandemic and helped address ongoing threats like HIV, TB, and malaria, and learn more about how leaders are charting a path forward, despite the challenging economic conditions, with investments in youth, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Gates will also participate in a conversation with university students at the University of Nairobi on Thursday, November 17 to learn and share perspectives on how innovative tools and approaches can bolster efforts to increase food security and support climate adaptation across Africa.
