HOW WE WORK

We Value

Embracing complexity.
We solve for big problems. Embracing complexity enables the creation of ground-breaking solutions.

Growth

Our team prides itself on being self-aware and humble. We are curious, we welcome feedback and we strive to grow.

Trust & Accountability
We strive to be trustworthy thought-partners through clear accountability, strong and honest communication, timeliness, and the use of rigorous evidence.

Advancing Diversity & Equity
We seek out diverse perspectives from beyond our industry and health markets to strengthen our creative problem-solving.

We recognize the persistent exclusion of African leaders and women in the arena of global health and are working to develop systems, processes, and approaches to advance equality through our organization’s staffing and leadership and through our work products, partnerships and expenditure. 

It’s a journey – we appreciate feedback.
