Haramaya University & Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Project

Haramaya University’s partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation began in October 2025

Haramaya University’s partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation began in October 2025, when the university received a $150,000 grant to lead a pioneering project on a Multidimensional Women’s Health Index. The collaboration focuses on women’s health research, especially developing data‑driven tools that capture health indicators across the entire life course—from childhood to older adulthood. This partnership strengthens evidence‑based policymaking in Ethiopia and supports broader efforts to advance gender equality and improve women’s health outcomes.
