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

Livelihoods
Pact helps people with limited livelihood choices earn a dignified living and be income-secure. Often tightly linked to our efforts in health, natural resource management, governance, and markets, our livelihoods work gives those who are poor the tools, knowledge, and access to credit to enable them to truly own their future.
