Company Description

FHI 360 (formerly Family Health International) is a massive global human development nonprofit organization dedicated to improving lives through integrated, locally-driven solutions. Founded in 1971, the international agency utilizes a rigorous, evidence-based approach to address complex social, economic, and medical challenges across more than 60 countries. Operating a major regional presence in East and Southern Africa, its dedicated country headquarters in Uganda is located at Plot 15 Kitante Close in Kampala
The primary operational mandate of the enterprise focuses on advancing public health systems through extensive partnerships with national governments, civil society, and local communities. In Uganda, the organization collaborates closely with the Ministry of Health to expand community-based family planning, prevent the transmission of HIV, and improve chronic care infrastructure. By deploying advanced technical assistance, the firm strengthens local administrative frameworks to ensure that marginalized populations can reliably access vital, life-saving clinical interventions. 
A cornerstone of their recent programming is the USAID Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) Activity, designed to optimize clinical outcomes for mothers and newborns. This initiative delivers technical guidance to both public and private healthcare facilities across Kampala, focusing heavily on enhancing service delivery governance. Through systematic training, the project builds the direct capacity of healthcare providers to handle obstetric emergencies and integrate essential nutritional protocols into daily pediatric care.

Beyond basic maternal healthcare, the institution manages extensive interventions targeting reproductive health, infectious diseases, and epidemic preparedness. The organization has historically pioneered the expansion of community-administered injectable contraceptives in Uganda, making family planning more accessible in rural settings. Concurrently, through specialized projects like the Strengthening Infectious Disease Detection Systems (STRIDES) Activity, the organization equips laboratories and surveillance teams to proactively detect and mitigate pandemic threats.
The broader operational philosophy of the entity transcends clinical medicine to tackle interrelated socioeconomic bottlenecks, including water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. The firm actively integrates economic development, agricultural innovation, and clean cooking technologies to foster highly resilient households. By empowering women as community leaders and utilizing modern data-driven tools, the multinational entity effectively builds local self-reliance while driving sustainable social progress.
