What changes when communities help shape the health messages and services designed for them?
These films show how IFC works with young people, people living with HIV, healthcare providers and institutions to develop locally relevant responses to HIV, sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender-based violence and barriers to healthcare.
OUR PROGRAMME AREAS
Our work is organised across three interconnected programme areas.
Digital Health Systems
We develop and apply accessible and responsible digital approaches that improve access to reliable health information, strengthen communication and support engagement between communities, healthcare providers and institutions. Our work is guided by identified health needs, inclusion, privacy, ethical practice and practical value within the settings where we operate.
Youth and Community Health Systems
We work with young people, people living with HIV, students and other community groups to strengthen access to health information, participation in programme design and engagement with healthcare providers. Our approaches include community dialogue, participatory Music Workshops, creative communication and digital follow-up.
Health-System Strengthening and Research
We generate and apply evidence to understand barriers to health information and services, improve programme delivery and support more responsive health systems. Our work combines community feedback, service monitoring, applied research and collaboration with healthcare and academic institutions.
