About Us

Since our founding in 1971, we’ve completed hundreds of projects in more than 150 countries. We are currently implementing more than 40 projects and providing support to 35-plus countries worldwide. The majority of our 980+ staff members are located outside the US, and 73% of them work in the countries they are originally from.

Our work spans pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response; health financing; access to medicines; supply chain management; maternal and child health; tuberculosis, malaria, HIV and AIDS; public health leadership; vaccines; and more.

Our donors include governments and international agencies, such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis; foundations and corporations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Margaret A.
