Local Policy, Lasting Impact
USAID’s PROPEL Health project partners with governments, the private sector, and faith-based organizations to strengthen health systems and contain infectious disease outbreaks at regional, national, and subnational levels. The project supports countries to implement resilient policies, mobilize local funding to reduce reliance on foreign aid, increase government efficiency and transparency, and strengthen information systems and real-time data for decision making. This strengthens global health security, improves health outcomes, and strengthens economies.
We focus on resilience and sustainability by promoting local implementation, fostering local capacity, and surfacing, testing, and scaling locally led innovations.
Solutions
PROPEL Health’s interlinked, multi-disciplinary approaches equip local actors with the necessary evidence, capacity, and adaptable best practices to activate context-responsive policy, advocacy, financing, and governance levers and drive improved health outcomes. Our work accelerates measurable health impacts including equitable access to responsive services, increased uptake of health services, and increased use of modern contraceptives.
Our Partners
