The HLSP Institute aims to inform debate and policy on global health issues and national health systems, in order to reduce inequalities in health.

The Institute assesses new and emerging issues in international health and development practice. It addresses how best to strengthen the national response to HIV and AIDS, both within the health sector and taking account of HIV in other sectors.

Building on the experience of HLSP

The HLSP Institute is part of HLSP›, a major health consulting and project management company. HLSP works for international agencies, national governments and health authorities.

The HLSP Institute was established to enhance HLSP’s capacity to contribute to international debate and influence policy. The Institute was formed when the Institute for Health Sector Development (IHSD) was merged with HLSP, in April 2005, and builds on IHSD’s reputation and experience.

The Institute draws on HLSP experience and expertise in health, HIV and AIDS policy and practice, health systems and aid management. The Institute ensures that this experience is shared and used to maintain the quality of all HLSP’s consulting work.

HLSP is part of the Mott MacDonald Group, a worldwide consultancy firm with specialists in education, water, sanitation, infrastructure and the environment operating from an extensive network of offices.
