The dream of achieving ‘happy, healthy and safe communities’ stands at the core of the overall vision of PCI. We strive to achieve this vision by adopting holistic, multi-pronged, multi-disciplinary approaches that place ‘communities’ at the heart of all health programming. We improve community literacy on health issues, promote individual and social behaviour change for healthier practices, empower communities to generate demand for health services, ensure equitable access and distribution of health services and entitlements. In the past two decades, we have deepened our community understanding through extensive work with women and women’s groups to achieve health and nutrition outcomes.

Our work is expansive, covering the themes of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and Nutrition, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Neglected Tropical Diseases and other Infectious Diseases including Tuberculosis and Malaria, One Health, Non-Communicable Diseases including Cancers and Strengthening Health Systems. We have extensive experience in Nutrition and Food Systems. Our strong Monitoring, Evaluation and Research team, Gender team and Climate teams ensure intersectionality within all health programs.

We provide technical assistance to the national government and several state governments on a variety of health and nutrition programs. Through our continuous engagement with policymakers and program leadership, we have contributed to policy dialogues at various levels. Our community-based programs are co-designed with target communities and implemented by leveraging and strengthening government systems.
