About Us

Since our founding in 1971, we’ve completed hundreds of projects in more than 150 countries. We are currently implementing 65 projects in 27 countries and providing support to more than 35 countries worldwide. The majority of our 1,900+ staff members are located outside the US, and 87% 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), World Health Organization (WHO), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis; foundations and corporations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Margaret A.
