Health
Health remains one of the most critical issues in human development. Pi’s work in health is based on the belief that everyone has a right to a healthy and dignified life. Our work is guided by the values of equity, solidarity and social justice, and is primarily focused on systemic change, community engagement, and innovation.
We view health as more than just the provision of services, but also transforming environments to impact the social and cultural determinants of health.

Nutrition
Our approach and work on nutrition promote it as a fundamental building block of equity and equal opportunity in societies. Nutritional problems affect generations, compromising their future potential and creating a cycle of poverty and malnutrition.
Sufficient nutrition is our first defence against disease and the first step to well-being.

Our work consists of engaging with experts to explore a diversity of approaches to address key issues such as undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and obesity and advocate on these issues. We also examine factors shaping food systems and how they relate to non-communicable diseases.
We partner with governments, key partners, experts, and civil society to identify key issues and work to improve evidence-led strategies for addressing nutrition and food security challenges. Some key aspects of this work include:
- Focus on Building Systemic Awareness: Work with diverse partners and stakeholders to help them understand the overarching nature of the nutrition challenge.

Community Engagement
Pi believes that community engagement is an integral aspect of developing effective policy, products, and programs. We use wide-ranging and innovative methods to facilitate engagement, participation, and dialogue with communities.

Our community engagement is based on the belief that those affected by a decision must be engaged and involved in the design, conceptualization, and decision-making process. This engagement promotes sustainable decisions by recognizing and including the needs and interests of all participants, especially end users in policy and programs.
