Designing a global engagement model that’s rooted in local leadership.

Gavi engaged us to lead the development of its first comprehensive Civil Society Engagement Strategy, part of its 5.0 and 6.0 global agendas. We guided the process from policy to practice—designing localized MEL frameworks, accountability mechanisms, and implementation pathways to help country teams meaningfully engage CSOs and communities.

Our role extended beyond strategy design: we facilitated internal buy-in, built country-facing tools, and supported early implementation—ensuring that localization wasn’t just a commitment, but a working system.

Helping social impact organizations build smarter, human-centered digital tools.

We partnered with Meta to design a hands-on implementation guide for using chatbots in social impact programming. Focused on usability, ethics, and localization, the toolkit helped organizations deploy conversational AI responsibly—especially in settings with low bandwidth, limited digital literacy, or sensitive subject matter.

We connected technology with trusted community engagement practices—ensuring that innovation was driven by empathy, not automation.

Elevating gender in a global disease ecosystem still dominated by biomedical models.

We led a groundbreaking initiative to explore how gender intersects with malaria prevention, treatment, and policy—from frontline workers to funding streams. The resulting investment case and advocacy strategy directly informed the Foundation’s approach and sparked the creation of a global Community of Practice, now housed at the University of Ghana.

This work positioned gender not as an afterthought, but as a core strategy lever in health systems design.

Linking data, trust, and community partnership in one regional framework.

Working with UNICEF regional offices and national teams, we helped develop a multi-country immunization strategy for East Africa. Our focus: integrate data use with behavioral insights and local engagement models. The resulting framework blended digital dashboards with community listening practices—bridging health system metrics with the lived experiences that drive uptake.

Creating space for honest dialogue in complex policy landscapes.

From privacy in reproductive health data to localization in humanitarian response, we’ve designed and moderated high-trust convenings at the UN General Assembly, World Health Assembly, and other global stages. Our strength is making space for divergent perspectives—philanthropies, multinationals, grassroots leaders—to wrestle with tough questions and leave with clearer paths forward.

Accelerating Partnerships Initiative Business Model Development

Kati Collective partnered with Last Mile Health to develop a strategic business model for their Accelerating Partnerships Initiative (API), aimed at improving government and partner performance in integrated community health systems. Through a tailored Business Model Canvas approach, we facilitated an in-depth, participatory process to align internal and external stakeholder insights and help LMH articulate a clear value proposition, identify strategic partnerships, and build an actionable roadmap for global engagement and growth.goes here

Digital Health Strategy Refinement through Stakeholder Engagement

Kati Collective supported Last Mile Health in refining their digital health strategy to better reflect internal priorities and external positioning. Building on prior work from Johns Hopkins University, we led a stakeholder-centered process—facilitating workshops and interviews with LMH teams and advisory groups—to align digital strategy with LMH’s mission of equitable health access, integrate health equity and justice considerations, and bridge strategic vision with operational planning.

Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Strategy Development

Kati Collective worked with PATH to develop a forward-looking, equity-driven strategy for their Non-Communicable Disease program. Through a multi-phase approach—starting with stakeholder interviews and surveys and culminating in a participatory strategy workshop—we co-created a final strategic framework. The resulting strategy clarified PATH’s unique value proposition in the NCD landscape and provided a practical roadmap for advancing health equity through global NCD interventions.

Digital Health Landscape Assessment and Strategy Roadmap

Kati Collective conducted a digital health ecosystem diagnostic in Chad to inform future investments in community health systems. The work included in-depth desk reviews, stakeholder interviews, and application of the EDIT tool to assess digital readiness. Our final deliverables included a roadmap for digital health strategy development and a shortlist of context-appropriate tools to support community health worker supervision and training, laying the foundation for scalable digital innovation in fragile settings.

South Sudan Gavi Full Portfolio Planning (FPP) Support

Kati Collective provided targeted technical assistance to South Sudan’s Ministry of Health to finalize their Gavi Full Portfolio Planning (FPP) application. Working alongside Swiss TPH, we supported the development of a comprehensive Theory of Change, Monitoring and Learning Plan, and aligned workplans and budgets—ensuring integration of Gavi’s 5.0 strategy and IRMMA framework. This effort helped South Sudan align its immunization and health system strengthening strategies to reach zero-dose children and missed communities.

IA2030 Data Strategy and Global Stakeholder Alignment

As backbone support for the IA2030 Data Strategy Working Group, Kati Collective led a multi-month process to embed data-related actions across key global partners. We supported alignment with the emerging IA2030 Secretariat, developed accountability indicators, and facilitated strategy handover. The result was a well-integrated data action framework with broad stakeholder buy-in to strengthen immunization programs globally.

Kati Collective has been a long-term strategic partner to the Global Financing Facility, with our founder embedded in the GFF Results Team as a senior advisor. In this role, we’ve supported both global strategy development and country-level execution—ensuring that equity, accountability, and data use remain central to GFF’s evolving model.

At the country level, we’ve worked closely with teams in Malawi, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Chad to strengthen alignment between GFF investments and broader Global Health Initiative (GHI) platforms. We’ve supported Ministries of Health, World Bank task teams, and civil society leaders to integrate meaningful feedback loops, local engagement, and evidence-informed planning—particularly in fragile and under-resourced settings.

At the global level, we’ve played an active role in shaping the GFF 2025 Strategy Refresh, offering targeted insight on:

Results measurement and country-level data use

Localization and civil society engagement

Adaptive accountability frameworks that work in dynamic political environments

Our role blends:

Embedded results advising focused on implementation-informed learning

Strategic facilitation and systems alignment across donors, governments, and CSOs

Translation of results data and MEL priorities into policy and operational strategy

Bridge-building between global frameworks and country realities

By operating at the heart of GFF’s Results architecture, Kati Collective has helped advance an equity-driven, learning-centered approach to investment design and execution—supporting both strategic coherence and local ownership across the GFF ecosystem.

Translating equity commitments into country-level malaria programming.

Kati Collective led the development of a practical, evidence-based guidance tool for The Global Fund, focused on how to meaningfully integrate gender-responsive and gender-transformative approaches into malaria programs at the country level.

Rooted in deep literature review and analysis of implementation barriers, the toolkit addressed the “what, why, and how” of embedding gender equity into malaria strategies—from antenatal care and community health systems to economic empowerment models. It translated abstract equity language into actionable, localized strategies for health ministries, implementing partners, and technical stakeholders.

Key contributions included:

Structuring the toolkit into three strategic pillars:
Women’s economic empowerment, ANC-based interventions, and gender equality in the malaria workforce

Providing scalable examples of what “gender-transformative” action looks like across cultural and structural contexts

Illustrating clear connections between gender equity and accelerated malaria outcomes, grounded in both global data and program experience

This work bridges policy intention and operational execution—helping implementers design with nuance, adapt in context, and shift systems without relying on checklists or jargon.
