Health is shaped far beyond the walls of hospitals and clinics. It’s defined by the environments people live in, the food they eat, the safety they feel and the power they hold to influence decisions that directly affect them.

These conditions are often disrupted by conflict, climate shocks, and poverty — challenges that can mean the difference between a child surviving or not. Still, communities have made measurable strides: since 2000, maternal deaths have dropped by 40%, and more than 100 million additional children have lived to see their fifth birthday. This progress is rooted in resilient health systems and community-led solutions, the type of work that Global Communities excels at.

From our domestic Healthy Start initiatives to our expanded global health portfolio, strengthened by the integration of IntraHealth International’s global health expertise, we are committed to protecting these hard-won gains and going even further.

Backed by decades of experience and implemented with a range of local and global partners, our core programmatic areas include maternal, newborn and child health, nutrition, family planning, HIV/AIDS, non-communicable diseases, water, sanitation and hygiene, global health security, climate-related health threats and health workforce development.

Our approach is grounded in

Strengthening local health care

so it truly serves the community by putting people first, especially women, children, and those most at risk.

INSPiRE: Integrated Health Services in West Africa

Scenes of FP counseling sessions and and an implant insertion at the CSPS Dassasgho in Ouagadougou

In West Africa, limited access to quality care puts women and newborns at high risk during pregnancy and the first months of life. Through the INSPiRE project — implemented with IntraHealth International and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — Global Communities is helping transform that reality.

The INSPiRE model integrates essential services for mothers, infants, and young children into a single visit, covering prenatal care, safe delivery, postpartum follow-up, immunizations, nutrition, and family planning. This streamlined approach reduces missed opportunities and makes care more accessible for women in remote areas.

Now active in more than 14,000 health facilities across eight countries, INSPiRE has already led to dramatic gains in family planning and well-baby visits.
