Health
Delivering results at the intersection of human health, animal health, and economic development

Today, with the emergence of new zoonotic diseases, the persistence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and our growing understanding of the connectedness between humans and their world, DAI is proud to work at the leading edge of development and health. We focus our interventions where human health intersects with livelihoods, animal health, and environmental concerns, drawing on an array of technical skills to bring development impact to health interventions. We ensure that development takes human health into account.
