In close collaboration with partners and experts in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada, CCISD’s team prioritizes strategies that combine training, research, technical support and communications for development, all the while applying strong Results-based Management principles and adopting a coaching and ownership strategy.
Its comprehensive approach promotes projects that provide a tailored and effective response to the real health needs of beneficiary populations, that create enabling environments for increased gender equity and equality, and that are implemented with environmental issues in mind. With exemplary project management practices, CCISD has a significant and lasting positive impact on the health of thousands of children, women and men. |
