How does the Millennium Foundation decide what projects it will fund?
The Millennium Foundation gives priority to UNITAID, who chooses projects based on a rigorous proposal selection process. UNITAID works primarily to fight HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, while some UNITAID projects have a clear impact improving maternal and child health. The Millennium Foundation is committed to making an impact on these latter two Millennium Development Goals, especially since despite recent progress, deaths related to preventable causes among mothers and children remain unacceptably high.
