The honor recognized Gates's philanthropic contributions to global health, his promotion of scientific research in developing countries, and the Foundation's partnerships with French institutions on malaria, tuberculosis, and tropical disease programs. The Légion d'honneur has been awarded since 1802 and is among the most internationally recognized civilian honors.
