Partnership for Child Development
The Partnership for Child Development (PCD), based at Imperial College London, is a global partnership of civil society organisations, academic institutions and technical experts committed to improving the education, health and nutrition of school-age children and youth in low and middle income countries. PCD's research and operational activities in the field of school health and nutrition and HIV/AIDS and education provide an evidence-based platform that assists countries and international agencies turn such findings into national interventions. PCD is recognized internationally for its focus on quality science in development and this work has shown how simple health and nutrition interventions, implemented through schools can improve not only children's physical wellbeing, but also their education and life choices.
The Partnership has provided much of the funding for the project and assisted in the design and development of the website.
Deworm the World
Deworm the World brings together partner organizations and individuals around the world committed to improving children's health and education by massively expanding deworming programs. Rather than setting up a new organization, Deworm the World links education groups to funders and provides the information they need to implement deworming and to raise the profile of this neglected issue.
Deworm the World was started in 2007 by the Education Working Group of the Forum of Young Global Leaders and has supported GAHI through funding and links with country programmes.
World Health Organization (WHO)
Both WHO Geneva and the WHO regional office for Africa (WHO-AFRO) have provided key support to the project. The Department of Neglected Tropical Diseases helped establish the project and has provided guidance to the overall design of the project and access to data. WHO-AFRO has also contributed technical input and information.
