We focus on areas with the potential for high-impact, sustainable solutions that can reach millions of people. The Division encompasses our India Country Office and Africa Team, with physical offices in Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Abuja, Nairobi and Dakar.

We engage with leaders of these institutions by participating in governance through membership on boards, committees, and advisory groups. We make investments to improve the operational effectiveness of the institutions and the impact of their programs.
