We start with women's health, but we don't stop there.

Burundi

Bonjour!

Partnering with Burundi's Ministry of Health to deliver lifesaving maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition services nationwide.

Selected Achievements

  • With the Ministry of Health, we conducted a Rapid Needs Assessment across 78 health facilities and 44 community platforms. Co-led with national programs and validated through a high-level dissemination workshop with 33 stakeholders, the assessment surfaced critical gaps in commodity availability, provider readiness and clinical guidelines.

  • The Rapid Needs Assessment is now the empirical foundation for a 10-point, government-endorsed action plan. By placing the Ministry at the helm, we have shifted the model from externally driven assessments to nationally led transformation, strengthening accountability and ownership across every level of the health system.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Improving Health Through Integrated Approaches

Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE)

  • Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE) is a multi-country project funded by the U.S. Government to save lives and improve health through integrated, evidence-based approaches to address urgent gaps in lifesaving services. RISE works across all levels of the health system to strengthen the HIV/TB epidemic response, to limit the spread of deadly disease outbreaks through Global Health Security programming, and to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality through integrated maternal, newborn, and child health, nutrition, tuberculosis, and malaria services. RISE supports country governments to strengthen essential data systems, supply chain and commodity management, human resources for health, domestic resource mobilization, and other cross-cutting health system functions to accelerate transition to country ownership. Since 2019, RISE has supported programs in more than 25 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The program runs through December 2027. Learn more here.

The challenges identified go beyond individual projects — they call for collective mobilization across the entire health sector.
