FHI 360 (formerly Family Health International) is a nonprofit human development organization based in North Carolina. FHI 360 operates in more than 70 countries and all U.S. states and territories. Established in 1971, the organization manages projects relating to family planning and reproductive health. In 1986 the organization began a worldwide response to HIV/AIDS. FHI 360's research and programs also address malaria, tuberculosis, and other infectious and chronic diseases and international agencies, governments, foundations, research institutions, and individual donors.




History


Other major sponsors of HIV/AIDS programs, as well as other health and development areas, include the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Other governments, private foundations, and the private sector have partnered with FHI 360 to overcome health and development challenges.
In 2010, Family Health International rebranded itself with a new tagline, "The science of improving lives". The name was simplified to FHI, reflecting a broadened scope that encompasses health and development as well as service to families, communities, and nations.
In 2011, Family Health International and Academy for Educational Development came together to create FHI 360. Staff includes experts in health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, gender equality, youth, research and technology. FHI 360 serves more than 70 countries and all U.S. states and territories.
