Our organizational policies, principles, and practices incorporate a gender, equity, diversity, and inclusion lens, and we actively seek opportunities to foster an inclusive, equitable work environment at all levels and across all of our offices.
EngenderHealth promotes country ownership and leadership. Our decentralized organizational structure allows us to deploy our experts rapidly and provide cost-effective in-country support or remote technical assistance that combines specialized expertise with a deep understanding of the local context. Our field-based staff (99% of whom are local experts and professionals) include a blend of program-specific staff and global and regional technical experts. A small global support team made up of international staff members provides support to our programs and partners.
