We support governments to test and implement proven, preventative drowning prevention interventions, and we work with local communities to create awareness and generate demand for services to achieve sustainable drowning prevention programs.
Between 2018 and 2025, the Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, partnered with the Government of Vietnam to implement a World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended survival swimming program that fundamentally transformed national child safety and reduced overall child drowning.
Uganda’s government launched Africa’s first-ever National Safe School Zones Guide in May 2025, answering a call from advocates to protect children on their journeys to and from school.
Between 2018 and 2025, GHAI assisted the government and local partners to orchestrate a transformative, strategic communications campaign that helped to secure landmark national drowning prevention policies that now protect millions of Vietnamese children. Through innovative media partnerships, evidence-based storytelling and multi-level stakeholder engagement, we transformed awareness into action that changed behaviors, influenced policy and created lasting systems for continued impact.
