We're thrilled to announce that one of Bayer’s partnership programs, The Challenge Initiative (TCI), has been awarded the prestigious 2024 P3 Impact Award given by the US Department of State, the University of Virginia, and Concordia at the Concordia Annual Summit. TCI was recognized as an exemplary model of a public-private partnership (P3) which address pressing global challenges through innovative and sustainable family planning initiatives across Africa and Asia. TCI partners with cities worldwide to scale up reproductive health solutions and improve access to quality family planning services in urban settings. TCI is the largest private philanthropic family planning program and is active in more than 200 cities covering a population of over 272 million people in 13 countries. Bayer partnered with TCI in the summer of 2020 and since then, over 3.4 million additional women have gained access to contraception. Family planning is essential not only for upholding human rights but also for tackling gender equity and empowering women, reducing poverty, and promoting sustainable development. At Bayer, we are committed to fulfilling the need of 100 million women in LMICs with access to modern contraception annually, by 2030. #TeamBayer #HealthForAll #HungerForNone #FamilyPlanning #GlobalHealth #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquity
