Focus Areas
Health Systems Strengthening & Resilience
ALIGN Initiative supports governments and partners to strengthen the foundations of national health systems by addressing governance, financing, and accountability in an integrated manner.
Our work in health systems focuses on :
- Aligning donor-funded and externally supported programs with national health priorities
- Strengthening financing frameworks to reduce reliance on short-term funding cycles
- Supporting governance and accountability mechanisms that improve system performance
- Using data and evidence to inform planning, resource allocation, and decision-making
Engagements are designed to support system resilience and continuity beyond individual projects or funding streams
Education & Skills for Sustainable Development
ALIGN works with partners to support education systems that are responsive to economic, technological, and social change.
Our education-focused work includes:
- Supporting policy and financing alignment for education sector reforms
- Linking education systems with labor market and skills development priorities
- Integrating digital tools and platforms to support learning system performance
- Embedding equity and inclusion considerations into system design
The emphasis is on long-term system coherence rather than isolated interventions.
Cross-Cutting Themes
Across all engagements, ALIGN integrates a set of cross-cutting considerations that influence system performance and sustainability:
- Governance and institutional capacity
- Digital transformation and data use
- Equity and inclusion
- Climate resilience and long-term risk management
These themes are incorporated as system design parameters rather than standalone initiatives.
