L’Initiative is committed to strengthening health systems by integrating cross-cutting issues into our activities.

Resilient, long-lasting health systems

In a world where essential health services are far from accessible to all, the only way to end the HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria epidemics is to implement robust health systems. That is why L’Initiative has gradually adopted a comprehensive approach that extends beyond our long-standing fields of intervention. We take action on cross-cutting issues, all of which help to build capacity among stakeholders in the field and offer more effective solutions that meet the needs of partner countries.
