About

4th Sector Health is a USAID initiative that forms Alliances and Exchanges to advance development through health in Latin America and the Caribbean. We mobilize business, the community and health experts to bring sustainable solutions to the public health issues that affect equitable development, such as maternal and child health, reproductive health, and diseases such as HIV/AIDS.

 Solving problems together

4th Sector Health seeks to cultivate locally-driven solutions to health challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean. We use two approaches to mobilize various sectors in the region to use and share their resources towards health, maximizing impact:
 

 Alliances

We develop public-private Alliances with private companies, NGOs, governments and foundations, to develop, fund and implement health activities. We invest USAID funds to leverage partner contributions and foster greater private sector involvement in health in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our Alliances also help build the capacity of all partners to work across sectors to improve health in the region.
 

 Exchanges

We support Exchanges across countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to enable south-to-south cross-fertilization of health expertise, best practices and lessons learned in health programs.
