Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE)
Reaching Impact Saturation and Epidemic Control (RISE) is a multi-country project funded by the U.S. Government to save lives and improve health through integrated, evidence-based approaches to address urgent gaps in lifesaving services. RISE works across all levels of the health system to strengthen the HIV/TB epidemic response, to limit the spread of deadly disease outbreaks through Global Health Security programming, and to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality through integrated maternal, newborn, and child health, nutrition, tuberculosis, and malaria services. RISE supports country governments to strengthen essential data systems, supply chain and commodity management, human resources for health, domestic resource mobilization, and other cross-cutting health system functions to accelerate transition to country ownership. Since 2019, RISE has supported programs in more than 25 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The program runs through December 2027. Learn more here.
