Our staff includes experts in health, nutrition, education, economic development, civil society, environment and research. FHI 360 in Vietnam, also known as Family Health International (FHI), has worked with partner organizations in Vietnam since 1998. We currently maintain an in-country team of over 100 professionals who strive to be change agents at multiple levels – from building local capacity to scaling-up evidence-based interventions, all the time focusing on sustainability and strengthening the systems in which these will be managed into the future.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='line-height:12.0pt'>Emerging global development challenges—such as climate change, food security and livelihood development—are multi-faceted issues, and FHI 360 is uniquely positioned to address them. With expertise in the environment, agriculture and economic development, as well as system-wide approaches and behavior change communications, FHI 360's expert have made significant contributions in this critical arena.<o:p></o:p></p><p style='line-height:12.0pt'><strong>System-wide approach</strong><b><br></b>In the face of obstacles at community, national and even global levels, FHI 360 considers more than individual behavior change. Rather, our experts have learned that it is vital to address simultaneously the behaviors of institutions and systems themselves. In turn, it is possible to transform societies—the only way to achieve lasting impact. In other words, starting "small" isn't enough, so programs need to be scaled appropriately from their inception.<b> </b>FHI 360's experts thus developed a process for systemic social change called SCALE <b><i>(System-wide Collaborative Action for Livelihood and the Environment)</i></b>, which builds social capital around an issue by focusing an array of stakeholders on collective goals and on their commitments to collaborate for large-scale success. Through SCALE, people become the drivers of their own development process with a stronger capacity to make informed decisions and take sustainable, collaborative action.<o:p></o:p></p><p style='line-height:12.0pt'>From 23 to 26 September, our experts from head office are providing the knowledge of SCALE for our staff.
