About Us

PROPEL Health works with local actors to analyze gaps in essential health services and health resources and to identify the underlying issues that drive them to improve conditions for more equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems, especially in the areas of family planning and reproductive health and its integration with HIV, maternal and child health, and primary healthcare.

Why Us?

PROPEL Health is designed to sustain USAID’s achievements over the last five decades—specifically those related to family planning and reproductive health and its integration with HIV, maternal and child health, and primary healthcare—while accelerating the pace and scope of policy, advocacy, financing, and governance successes. The project advances USAID’s broad global health goals, including but not limited to localization, health systems strengthening, and sustained epidemic control.

We focus on resilience and sustainability by promoting local implementation, fostering local capacity, and surfacing, testing, and scaling locally led innovations.

By the end of the project, we envision a world where countries are stewarding more sustainable health policy and financing environments that promote equitable and integrated family planning services for all—celebrating better health outcomes. With local actors and partners more capably fulfilling their roles in dynamic ecosystems, governments and civil society alike will be better prepared to develop policy solutions to surmount the shocks and stressors of the future. We will be much closer to a world where development assistance is more responsive, accessible, and inclusive.
