Client Highlights

Our clients are improving the lives of millions of people across the world through innovative programs and committed leadership.

We are honored to work with organizations of their caliber. With admiration, this page is dedicated to sharing some of their highlights:

  • American Human Development Project (New York) launched the second Measure of America in Fall 2010. This bi-annual report adapts the widely used UNDP human international index to provide "apples-to-apples" comparisons of human well-being (health, education and standard of living) across U.S. states, counties, congressional districts and ethnic groups. Interactive maps and data demonstrate how states and districts stack up against their neighbors for over 100 indicators. In 2009, the Project Co-directors provided testimony on the federal poverty line to the Congressional Committee on Ways and Means. The project has released two state reports (Louisiana and Mississippi), will release a California report in early 2011, and has launched online tools in partnership with United Way and the Foundation Center. The Project has been supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Social Science Research Council and Oxfam America, among others.
  • International Vaccine Institute (Seoul, Korea) was honored with the 2010 Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal for its Director General, Dr. John D. Clemens, who also received recognition in 2010 as Vaccine Executive of the Year. Founded by a United Nations charter, IVI is a premier institution dedicated to research, development and deployment of new vaccines for neglected diseases and the improvement of health in developing countries. IVI is a key player in developing cholera vaccines, having held successful field trials for a low-cost, oral vaccine for the disease, and serves on a committee that recommended stockpiling oral cholera vaccines in the US for the Haiti crisis. Major funding comes from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Korean and Swedish governments, and additional partners include a range of pharmaceutical companies, product development partnerships and international agencies.
  • mothers2mothers (Cape Town, South Africa) acclaimed program received the Global Health Council’s 2010 Best Practices in Global Health, the 2009 Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, and the 2009 Schwab Regional Social Entrepreneurs Award. m2m trains and employs HIV-positive pregnant women and new mothers to provide education and support to their peers, empowering them to prevent transmission of the HIV infection to their children and to access lifesaving treatment for themselves.

  • The Touch Foundation (New York), recently received a major PEPFAR/USAID grant renewal for its work at Bugando Medical Centre, now the 2nd largest medical school in Tanzania. Founded in 2004, Touch focuses on human resources for health and health system strengthening in Tanzania with extraordinary results. In partnership with McKinsey & Co., Touch developed a comprehensive plan to increase health worker training throughout the country, which served as the basis for Tanzania’s successful bid to the Global Fund ($176 million in 2010). Touch is a well-tested public/private partnership with strategic value to improving global health. Abbott, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Citi and McKinsey are key corporate partners.
