OUR SCIENCE & INNOVATION VISION EMPOWERS GLOBAL ACTION FOR DEVELOPMENT
HEADA is committed to putting science and technology at the heart of global development. Our mission is to help individuals and organizations apply evidence and insights from science and technology to decision-making in order to have a positive impact on health and safety of the world’s inhabitants, as well as on equitable and sustainable development and poverty reduction. We engage primarily with development professionals, policymakers, researchers, the media and the informed public. We enable progress through local collaborations networked to a gateway of expertise, tools, and information, resources by which health paradigms are shifted. Our extensive experience building international collaborations has helped strengthen surveillance and response capacity for mitigating health risks, creating a conduit for high-quality research in challenging settings.
