Healthy Futures
Healthy Futures is delivering an intervention that has strong evidence and has made a good start as a technical advisor to the Philippines Government, an inherently scalable model. The challenge will be replicating this model in new, higher priority countries, where the team does not yet have a track record. We will watch their expansion into Angola with interest.
