FHI 360

FHI 360 is a global nonprofit that partners with communities and local organisations to develop data-driven, locally driven solutions to challenges in health, education, nutrition, economic development, environment and civil society. Founded in 1971 and originating at the University of North Carolina in the United States, the organisation now works in over 50 countries and employs more than 2,200 experts across disciplines.

Its technical work spans data-driven development approaches, health research and family planning research, alongside programmes in education, nutrition, economic development, environment, civil society and humanitarian response. Solutions are designed to be integrated and interdisciplinary, drawing on research and evidence to address problems across sectors.

The organisation operates on a locally driven, community-partnered model, working through collaboration and partnership with local organisations and applying culturally attuned strategies. Its stated philosophy is to "listen first, then act", with an emphasis on advocacy for access and opportunity for all people.

Six core values guide its work: innovation to meet evolving needs, mutual respect for diversity, passion driven by personal commitment, accountability through measurable results, commitment to excellence with high ethical standards, and teamwork across disciplines.
