Examples of our work
Better Health Programme Brazil
Funded by UK Aid, the Better Health Programme will run from 2019 through 2022 and aims to equip public-health authorities and leading institutions with the capacity to address some of Brazil’s most pressing public-healthcare challenges. This includes implementing a pilot to provide teleconsultations to health posts without doctors in remote areas; designing an ambitious digital health strategy for the leading public hospital in Latin America; and designing three data portals for citizens, healthcare professionals, and local managers to easily access health indicators.
Manufacturing Africa
A UK Aid-funded program running from 2019 until 2026 covering East and West Africa, Manufacturing Africa aims to reduce poverty by attracting £1.2 billion of foreign direct investment into the manufacturing sector and creating 90,000 jobs. The program has supported the delivery of the African Vaccine Manufacturing Summit, which brought together donors, investors, and manufacturers to accelerate vaccine manufacturing on the continent. Manufacturing Africa also worked with Edo State’s investment promotion agency in Nigeria to improve investor outreach processes and strengthen their manufacturing deal pipeline.
