In August 2019, USAID chose Abt to manage its flagship initiative in integrated health systems strengthening, the Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS). Today, the LHSS Project is working in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. In celebration of almost two years collaborating with governments and partners around the globe, we’re highlighting some key news from the LHSS Project.
One year ago, a planet-wide effort to stem the spread of COVID-19 and scale up capacity to care for stricken patients had just roared to life. Today, countries face an equally urgent imperative: to vaccinate their populations and end the pandemic. LHSS is supporting efforts in Colombia, Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan.
Learn about all the LHSS Project’s exciting work on its newly launched website.

The LHSS Project helps underserved and marginalized people gain access to high-quality, essential health services by working with country partners to strengthen – and improve the sustainability of – national and community health systems. Globally, the project generates evidence, resources, and insights to help governments everywhere make progress on common health system challenges.
