Working alongside the Australian Government and the Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), we're committed to building a robust healthcare workforce in the Philippines. Our strategy includes in-depth research to understand the evolving landscape of healthcare, impactful events to foster collaboration and ownership of the HR agenda, and continuous dialogue with key players in the health sector.

Investing in the future of Filipino manufacturing, the five-year USAID-funded AMDev program (2022-2027)  equips workers with the skills they need to succeed in Industry 4.0. AMDev tackles critical skills gaps and develops industry-driven solutions to ensure a competitive workforce.

Project Kaakbay puts youth at the forefront of health transformation. Leveraging our successful youth programs, we're activating young leaders to become powerful health advocates, implement impactful community-based initiatives, and drive health reforms that advance Universal Health Care.

At the heart of our mental health work is a belief in community, collaboration, and change. We are addressing the mental health needs of young Filipinos with a three-pronged approach: empowering communities through training, forging strategic partnerships for multi-sectoral initiatives, and advocating for evidence-based policies at all levels.. Our initiatives like Play It Forward, EDUC, and #MindYourHealth are making a real difference in the lives of young people.

At the Unilab Center for Health Policy, we believe that collaboration and expertise are key to improving healthcare. We facilitate dialogue between government and private sector stakeholders, using evidence-based research to improve services for vulnerable Filipinos. Our expert Advisory Council, chaired by former Health Secretary Dr. Enrique T. Ona, guides our four transformative research projects: from analyzing decades of health spending to building referral systems for over 6,000 remote communities, the development of effective governance frameworks for provider payments, the creation of practical implementation manuals for PhilHealth’s outpatient benefits— we're working to create a healthier future.
