Gates Foundation Changes Focus to 'Last Mile' of Delivery

Dr. Ayo Ajayi, who heads the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Africa team, spoke to allAfrica.com in Cape Town recently about changes in the foundation's engagement with Africa, lessons learned and priorities for the future.

Nutrition is very different from other health interventions. It's much more multi-sectoral, says Dr. Ayo Ajayi.

Dr Ayo Ajayi is director of the Gates Africa team, leading the foundation's work on policy, advocacy, and government relations across the continent.

Part of the foundation's work focuses on saving newborn lives.
