HealthRise Partners

The HealthRise “Global Team” included the Medtronic Foundation, the implementation and managing partners –– Abt Associates (Abt), Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), Instituto Sírio-Libanês de Ensino e Pesquisa (IEP) –- and the evaluation partner, IHME. Abt oversaw the coordination of the HealthRise program at the global level and managed country-level programs in India and the United States. HSRC oversaw the program in South Africa, and the IEP managed Brazil’s program. Across the four countries, nine distinct implementation partners received grants from the HealthRise program and worked in coordination with relevant country- and global-level partners to design and implement demonstration programs.

Specifically, IHME subcontracted the following organizations: Dinamica Cursos, Tesla Gestao, and Press Consultoria in Brazil; Indira Gandhi Medical College Shimla, GfK (Growth from Knowledge) Mode, and Development Solutions in India; and Social Surveys Africa in South Africa. IHME conducted all qualitative interviews in the United States.
