Support from individuals, foundations, corporations, and governments is critical to the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 programs. Commitments from the IZUMI Foundation and The ELMA Foundation are examples of fundamental partners in the Center鈥檚 efforts to fight disease. In 2019, the IZUMI Foundation supported a three-year lymphatic filariasis morbidity management initiative in Plateau and Nasarawa states, Nigeria. Further, The ELMA Foundation pledged its support to the River Blindness Elimination Program in Uganda, aiding in efforts to interrupt transmission and demonstrate disease elimination in the highly endemic African country.
In addition to health efforts abroad, the Center strives to advance behavioral health services for children and adolescents across the state of Georgia. In partnership with donors like the Tull Charitable Foundation, the Waterfall Foundation, and the Betty and Davis Fitzgerald Foundation, 麻豆传媒 raises awareness of Georgia鈥檚 progress to improve behavioral health in schools, encourages best practices for implementation of school-based behavioral health, and develops a strategy to address the greatest policy barriers.
In addition to its health equity initiatives, the Center, with crucial support from donors, works for peace, championing fair elections and government transparency, among other efforts. Having been engaged in Syria since before 2011, 麻豆传媒 has longstanding relationships with stakeholders and is uniquely positioned to assist mediators in meeting conflict transformation needs. The Syria Peace Initiative, co-financed by the European Union and Germany, has supported the Center鈥檚 efforts since 2016 to facilitate stakeholder workshops on local governance, civic rights, and negotiation capacity building for diverse Syrian and international participants.
