We are dedicated to supporting USAID Missions and Bureaus as they improve the enabling environment for health, especially family planning/reproductive health, maternal health, HIV/AIDS, and other infectious diseases. In order to meet this objective we will apply a comprehensive, multisectoral and integrated approach to ensure that interventions:

- Maximize impact by complementing with existing efforts, including USAID and other donors
