Projects
For the past 50+ years we’ve seen impressive gains in global health—but to meet the needs of the 3.5 billion people who still lack access to healthcare there are new boundaries to break.
PSI’s flagship projects demonstrate that when we listen to consumers more effectively and turn insights into action, we can move global healthcare into the future–creating sustainable health systems that lead to Universal Health Coverage. It’s time to revolutionize how we deliver care.

PRIORITY
PROJECTS
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTERS
As part of our efforts to support malaria elimination in the Greater Mekong Subregion, in November 2018 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded a grant that enabled PSI, alongside the Laos government, to pioneer a public health emergency operations centers strengthening project. The project’s focus is to improve the overall capacity for efficient disease surveillance and response while specifically accelerating malaria elimination.

GOING THE LAST MILE
As the HIV response matures, PSI is working closely with national governments to finish the “last mile” of epidemic control. The Going the Last Mile project in Zimbabwe is strengthening the national HIV response, first by ensuring full coverage of key interventions such as treatment, voluntary medical male circumcision and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in critical regions, then transitioning stable programs to the Government of Zimbabwe.
- Location: Zimbabwe
- Funder: USAID
PROJECT MPILO
Project Mpilo reframes the HIV counselor or case manager as a coach and mentor who provides ongoing guidance and support–borne out of personal experience–from the point of diagnosis to the point of viral suppression and treatment stability. Coaches are based in the community but work closely with clinic staff, receiving referrals from nurses, accompanying men to clinic visits as needed, and engaging in joint problem-solving.
- Location: South Africa
- Funder: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
EpiC Mozambique
This project leverages PSI’s deep strengths in communication to reduce HIV-related stigma and drive uptake of HIV treatment.
- Location: Mozambique
