FHI 360

FHI 360 is a global organization that mobilizes research, resources and relationships so people everywhere have access to the opportunities they need to lead full, healthy lives. Our staff of over 4,000 experts work in more than 60 countries around the world.

Since 2017, FHI 360 has partnered with the government, local health facilities and civil society organizations to strengthen and build trust in the health sector, grow and sustain clinical laboratory infrastructure, detect infectious diseases, and control neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

In partnership with ICF, FHI 360 implements the Infectious Disease Detection and Surveillance project, which strengthens national and subnational capacities to improve diagnostic networks and laboratory systems that detect priority infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Together with local partners, FHI 360 employs a One Health approach in support of country goals for the Global Health Security Agenda and tuberculosis control programs.

FHI 360 also works to prevent avoidable epidemics through the Center for Disease Control’s Enhancing Global Health Security project. In Guinea and five other countries, we strengthen country-level surveillance and emergency response systems to prevent, detect and respond to public health threats using the One Health approach.

With funding from the U.S. National Institute of Health/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), FHI 360 built a strong clinical research infrastructure under the Guinea Financial Management Center project. Our experts helped establish and maintain an independent financial management platform for the NIAID and Guinean clinical researchers, government agencies, academics and other health research groups to conduct collaborative research.

FHI 360 also implemented U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Act to End NTDs | West (Act | West) project in Guinea to control and eliminate diseases such as lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis. FHI 360 supported the integration of NTD treatment efforts across sectors, increased disease surveillance and data use, and improved the sustainability of government response to NTDs.

Through the Citizens’ Involvement in Health Governance in Guinea project, funded by USAID, FHI 360 improved citizens’ understanding of and participation in the country’s health system reform and played a vital role in post-Ebola recovery. The project expanded public dialogue by sponsoring government visits with citizens across 47 locations. These visits, which
