Our impact
PATH's Center for Advocacy and Policy works with government, civil society, health care providers, and citizens in 25+ countries to influence and design evidence-based policies, protect funding, and ensure policies are implemented at the community level. Along with partners, we conduct in-depth impact monitoring and evaluation to understand and document the reach of our work.
