HomeFocus areas

Six areas where evidence changes outcomes.

Each focus area is chosen because the problems are persistent, the data gaps are real, and the potential for measurable change is high.

Health & nutrition

We support interventions that improve health outcomes where they matter most — with particular emphasis on the health of mothers, adolescents, and young children.

  • Reproductive, maternal, newborn, child & adolescent health (RMNCAH)
  • Nutrition and food security
  • Health behavior change communication

Gender & social inclusion

Development that leaves people behind isn't development. We promote equitable outcomes by addressing the structures that produce exclusion in the first place.

  • Advancing gender equality
  • Addressing social and structural inequalities
  • Inclusive programming for marginalized populations

Youth & socio-economic development

Africa's youth population is its greatest asset — when young people have skills, opportunity, and pathways. We work on all three.

  • Skills development and employability
  • Entrepreneurship and innovation
  • Transition-to-work pathways

Water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH)

Public health begins with safe water and dignified sanitation. We contribute to systems that communities can run and sustain themselves.

  • Expanding access to safe water and sanitation
  • Hygiene practices and behavior change
  • Community-based WASH systems

Climate & resilience

Climate vulnerability is rising fastest for communities least equipped to absorb it. We help local decision-makers plan with climate information, not despite its absence.

  • Climate adaptation and resilience strategies
  • Sustainable livelihoods
  • Climate information in local decision-making

Education & skills development

We strengthen how learning happens — supporting teachers, modern pedagogy, and the practical and digital skills learners need beyond the classroom.

  • Inquiry-based and competency-based learning
  • Teacher capacity and professional development
  • Digital literacy and practical skills
