Learning Across Global Borders

Knowing that good ideas have no borders, we explore promising solutions from around the world—programs, policies, and practices that might work in the United States to advance health equity.

What are we learning?

When we look around the world—from Canada to Colombia, Belgium to Botswana, Italy to India—we see countries that have made progress in tackling the same kind of problems that challenge our nation. We want to know: How are other nations making progress toward achieving gender equity, advancing wellbeing, building authentic and meaningful community power, and fostering sustainable and equitable urban development?
