What We Do
IANPHI spearheads improvements in national public health systems through a peer-assistance model of grant support and efforts focused on NPHI advocacy, collaboration, and sustainability.Projects
IANPHI provides direct funding to governments in low-resource countries to build and strengthen national public health capacity through development of NPHIs. IANPHI's grant portfolio includes three types of projects:
- Long-term engagements to establish new NPHIs or transform existing institutes into more comprehensive NPHIs
- Targeted assistance to boost capacity of NPHIs
- Seed grants to support the NPHI research agenda
IANPHI helps all of the world’s NPHIs by advocating for strong and well-supported national public health institutes. IANPHI facilitates alliances among NPHIs and with strategic partners such as WHO to catalyze support for and investment in national public health systems. IANPHI also develops benchmarks and tools that countries, NPHIs, and peer-assistance teams use to assess, develop, and improve NPHIs and optimize delivery of core public health functions.
Leadership
IANPHI is a professional association for NPHI directors, fostering a new community of public health leadership dedicated to knowledge sharing, collaboration, and cooperation. By linking the assets and leadership of NPHIs around the world, IANPHI provides a platform for collective action and shared solutions in addressing public health challenges and opportunities. The collective history, knowledge, and expertise of our member institutes are a powerful force for transforming public health around the world.
