At the heart of our approach to delivering positive health impact is building resilient health systems so that developing countries can provide sustainable, quality healthcare to all their citizens.

This dual approach enables us to contribute to short-term gains in health-related goals as well as to longer-term systemic change, such as institutional arrangements, governance, and accountability.

GPI works to implement digital health tools and health informatics data to ensure a reliable and sustainable approach to health care. We support evidence-based, adaptive approaches to designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating health programs. We perform rigorous—but cost-effective—action-oriented research, monitoring, and evaluation that informs project start-up, refines implementation, and provides insight into sustainability and scalability.

We believe that local leadership and ownership drive sustainability, and we recognise the importance of working with and within national systems and priorities. As such, our host governments and national partners take the lead in identifying needs and we invest our expertise in developing local capacity enhancement at all stages of program delivery. Furthermore, we have a proven track record in fragile and conflict-affected environments, where we utilise our global footprint and security infrastructure to partner with non-state actors to meet the health needs of poor and vulnerable populations in challenging operating areas.

Our goal is to ensure partner countries are agents of their own growth and prosperity. GPI takes a partnership approach to capacity strengthening that is responsive to local needs and solutions at all national and sub-national levels. This is the cornerstone of long-term sustainable development.

Our experts strive to identify and pursue opportunities to strengthen local capacity to support good governance, transparency and stewardship of resources, empowering civil society, and media to hold governments accountable. By helping stakeholders to identify strategic goals, assess existing capacity, and strengthen their performance, GPI fosters stakeholders’ ability to sustain and lead local development and enable greater resilience.

Our focus on localisation emphasises private sector engagement. GPI identifies and facilitates the development of partnerships that create shared value for public sector impact and private sector interests, including those with non-governmental organisations, faith-based organisations, and commercial actors. Our work includes financing development activities and outcomes, supporting direct implementation of interventions, outsourcing services, and developing other partnership structures that provide tangible benefits for society and a positive impact on the bottom line of participating companies.

We foster public-private partnerships to increase access to priority services and commodities, and we take a total market approach that creates dialogue amongst all stakeholders in health markets to find opportunities for greater impact and sustainability of health interventions.

GPI approaches gender as part of a cross-cutting social inclusion strategy that recognises the intersections of gender with other social, cultural, and economic inequities. Our holistic approach to gender-transformative policy and behavioural change strengthens the environment to enable health systems to adequately meet the health needs of people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances.

Upholding human rights has always been at the centrefold of GPI’s approach to health and development. By taking a human right- and equity-based approach to health, we support local partners to develop responsive and accountable health policies and programs that improve demand of and access to quality health services for all populations, regardless of race, gender, cultural or economic status.

GPI’s expertise in supply chain shines in humanitarian settings, where rapid, organized deployment is critical. We implement end-to-end managed supply chain solutions across the globe, specializing in post-disaster, post-conflict, and less-developed countries. We reduce inventory storage and distribution costs that are often associated with operating in challenging environments through efficient systems, longstanding supplier relations, and agile category management.

We have acted as first responders to infectious disease outbreaks including Ebola and COVID-19, providing essential medicines, trained medical personnel, and field hospitals in time-critical and politically challenging environments. We utilize technologies, such as DHIS2 to store data, logistics, and information systems for governments and other institutions.

To achieve improved health outcomes, GPI applies its extensive technical and clinical expertise in service delivery to ensure implementation of high quality and locally led, evidence-based approaches that prevent newborn, child, and maternal deaths; control the HIV epidemic; and address non-communicable diseases and infectious disease threats.

We focus on institutionalization of structures and processes—grounded in data systems and use—that enable countries to regulate and sustain quality in service delivery to bring about widespread improvements in health. We partner with countries to harmonize existing approaches to quality services, expand high-impact practices, and cultivate a cycle of learning, culture change, and capacity building appropriate to each country context.

GPI’s state-of-the-art monitoring and evaluation tools connect the dots between seemingly unrelated pieces of data and uncover essential solutions for national governments, service delivery organisations, policy makers, and civil society in areas such as COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, orphans and vulnerable children, and family planning and reproductive health. We undertake quantitative, qualitative, and operations research to support evidence-based policy and programmatic decision-making, ensuring that service delivery is on track and delivers results.

We offer technical assistance and capacity development to strengthen the data and information that guide public health programs, working with local institutions in country to build their capacity to carry out monitoring and evaluation activities and to ensure data quality. We also provide global leadership in pioneering approaches to increase demand for and use of health data, helping decision makers make the best use of data to identify health issues, monitor interventions, and make mid-course corrections when necessary.

Applying GPI’s Positive Impact Methodology, GPI teams design, develop, deploy, and sustain social determinants of health-targeted interventions that are patient and provider accessible, that improve health and overall well-being, delivering value efficiently. This includes convening, coordinating, and engaging independent, community stakeholders.

To improve health and cost outcomes, GPI works with clients to foster a holistic understanding of each patient’s situation and a plan to effectively address each one. Targeted interventions that remediate issues related to housing, employment, neighbourhood, education, and emotional and social support networks often have a greater impact on health outcomes than clinical treatment alone.
