In addition, the partnership will work to streamline regulatory pathways to reduce barrier to entry and create demand for improved new products.

Norway, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the UK will each commit US $200 million of their total London Summit on Family Planning commitment until 2020, amounting to a commitment of US $600 million.
