Where do we work? We’ve just added an interactive map that allows you to explore our activities by country or project.
The map includes our Maternal and Reproductive health work in Tanzania, which culminated in a handover to the regional government this summer. Here’s a look at our other programs:
Cardiovascular Health
We build support for health and food policy solutions as part of the Resolve to Save Lives initiative.
Civil Registration and Vital Statistics
We provide legal review for Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Data for Health Initiative to improve public health data.
Drowning Prevention
We support the government of Vietnam as they implement proven drowning prevention interventions, and advocate to ensure the sustainability of the interventions once external donor financing comes to an end.
Obesity Prevention
We build support for healthy food policy solutions at the national level.
Preventing Epidemics
We build support for investments in epidemic preparedness as part of the Resolve to Save Lives initiative.
Road Safety
We advance policy change that saves lives on the road.
Vehicle Standards
We are changing the public discussion around safe cars in Colombia through media advocacy and mass communications.

In March 2026, Việt Nam marked a defining milestone, transitioning its child drowning prevention programme from a donor-supported pilot into a fully nationally owned initiative. Over eight years, the partnership between the Government of Việt Nam, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) helped more than 75,000 children learn survival swimming skills and reduced drowning mortality by 16% in the areas where it operated — results that position Việt Nam as a reference point for countries building sustainable drowning prevention systems.

Funding for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is rarely top of mind when health ministry policymakers gather. This holds true across the globe. NCDs cause three-quarters of all deaths worldwide, yet they draw only about 1 to 2 per cent of global financing for health and roughly the same share of official development assistance for health. There is no dedicated global fund for NCDs. Domestic budgets and donor money still flow overwhelmingly to communicable diseases.
