Our Integrated Approach
Our Integrated Approach
A TRANSFORMATIONAL APPROACH
The causes of poverty and marginalization are complex. Using an integrated, systemic approach, we address root problems to measurably transform lives for lasting success.
OUR IMPACT AREAS
We combine interventions in the following areas, with a focus on systemic changes needed to improve people’s lives:

Health
In communities around the world, Pact is giving people better access to vital health and social services — from HIV and AIDS care and prevention to protections for vulnerable children — and ensuring local institutions and systems can sustain improvements long after Pact is gone. Learn More
