Global Project Summary: Health Policy Project
Futures Group is the lead partner on the Health Policy Project (HPP), a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The project’s HIV activities are supported by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). To implement HPP, Futures Group collaborates globally with CEDPA (part of Plan International USA), Futures Institute, Partners in Population and Development, Africa Regional Office (PPD ARO), Population Reference Bureau (PRB), RTI International, and the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA). In Haiti, the HPP partnership is Futures Group and RTI.
Globally, HPP contributes to improved health outcomes through strengthening the efficiency, effectiveness, and equity of health systems in a multi-sectoral context. HPP focuses on the policy aspects of health and other social sectors, often in a multi-sectoral context. We also assist countries to improve health outcomes by addressing barriers due to gender inequalities, socioeconomic status, stigma and discrimination, operational issues, and other factors that prevent people from seeking the health and related social services they need. Throughout our work, we are committed to encouraging in-country capacity for policy, advocacy, governance, and finance. For additional information on HPP see www.healthpolicyproject.com.
