Authors: Renata Seidel

Creating lasting change is the goal of every development-oriented organization. However, governments and donors offer support in increments of three to five years and prescribe changes within that limited time span. This document highlights just a few examples of efforts by AED to contribute to long-term improvements in health in a world of short-term commitments and shrinking funds. It focuses on seven major innovations designed to significantly change the way we do development. AED's efforts focus on how individuals change, how societies change, and how community solutions can be applied at a scale that will improve the health of large populations.
