FHI 360 helps people — particularly women, young people and other historically marginalized groups — create better futures for themselves and contribute to strong economies.
As a partner in economic development, FHI 360 provides businesses, government partners, and communities with technical support, tailored labor market analysis, and data-driven guidance. From workforce development to economic inclusion to green jobs, we collaborate across areas of expertise to develop economic solutions that protect the planet and promote opportunities for all to thrive.
Together with our local partners, we’re strengthening livelihoods and economies so people everywhere can lead full and healthy lives.
