About Us
Vital Strategies is an international public health organization. We develop and oversee programs to strengthen public health systems and address leading causes of morbidity and mortality, providing expertise in project implementation and management, strategic communications, epidemiology and surveillance, and other core public health capacities. Our programs include road safety, obesity prevention, tobacco control, and activities to strengthen public health data systems and the use of public health data to guide policy and decision-making, with most efforts focused in low and middle-income countries and cities in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific. Please visit our website at www.vitalstrategies.org to find out more about our work.
Vital Strategies’ Environmental Health division uses the tools of public health to ensure healthy and sustainable outcomes for people living in an increasingly urbanized world. This means developing the technical capacity to address environmental threats beyond the traditional span of public health control— reducing air pollution, mitigating climate change, and improving water, sanitation, and transportation systems. It involves assisting in prioritizing investments that can amplify health gains in urban areas and engaging the public to recognize the immediate and long-term health impacts as the world urbanizes. For example, in Indonesia, Vital Strategies is currently working with Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Provinsi (DLH) Jakarta to strengthen its air quality management plan.
