The Gates Foundation is funding the development of a viable AIDS vaccine and the eradication of childhood diseases through immunization. Though based in the United States, this foundation is considered a:
1. Bilateral agency.
2. Sector-wide approach to health.
3. Unilateral agency.
4. Non-governmental organization.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are agencies outside of official government-sponsored agencies that work for the public good. The Gates Foundation has committed its resources and funding to engage in activities that address worldwide health concerns. Examples of NGOs include religious groups, philanthropic foundations, corporations, and other organizations. Bilateral agencies usually involve only two countries on a project. Sector-wide approaches to health focus attention on the resolution of health-related problems by addressing conditions that affect health in a broader social sense. Unilateral agencies represent one country.
