What we do - Consultancy work
How
we work empowers; when partners ask challenging questions resolving the
issues together is part of the process.
This applies to our consultancy work as well as grant work, and our consultancies remain grounded in Healthlink Worldwide's participatory values.
We form mutually beneficial partnerships with clients including government agencies and non-government agencies. The work ranges from the production of communication materials, to designing information and communication strategies, to synthesising research, to strengthening learning.
