Announcement Description

We work in Africa and Asia with communities, governments, academic institutions, and local and international organizations, to ensure effective delivery of services, which are supported by strong evidence.

Our areas of expertise include:

disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment
disease control and elimination
systems strengthening
research, monitoring and evaluation leading to best practice
behaviour change communication
national and international advocacy and policy development
