Synergos is working with Unilever and UNICEF-India in a global multi-sectoral initiative to create sustainable systemic solutions to child malnutrition. The Partnership is starting its work in India, where nearly half of children suffer from malnutrition. The Bhavishya Alliance, as the partnership is known in India, is an unprecedented coalition of Indian government, business and civil society leaders and institutions. It is implementing an integrated set of programs to reduce child malnutrition in both rural and urban areas of Maharashtra. |

This initiative will develop a replicable model for improving public health leadership and system performance, starting in Namibia. It seeks to increase health leader effectiveness by cultivating managerial and administrative skills and by addressing the attitudes, values and relationships that drive behavior.

The Initiative seeks to improve the ability of aboriginal communities, government agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations to collaborate on projects that improve the quality of life for indigenous peoples. The initiative is focusing its work in Canada, where Aboriginal communities often live in conditions akin to the developing world despite overall affluence across the country. Initiative partners include the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, Canadian federal and provincial governments and Aboriginal Leadership Institute. |
