Across the globe, CDM has delivered assistance in a broad range of environmental health areas to alleviate childhood illness and mortality, support sustainable economic growth and development, and assist in the stabilization of societies in conflict. The CDM team, comprising the world's leading practitioners in environmental health, provides diverse expertise and experience in areas from basic water and sanitation to preventing the spread of infectious diseases, such as malaria, to integrated programming in population, health, and the environment.
CDM teams have provided technical leadership; developed state-of-the-art approaches; designed sustainable community-based activities; provided institutional and individual capacity building; implemented world-class knowledge management services in environmental health for vector control, hygiene improvement, and water supply and sanitation; and managed several of the U.S. Agency for International Development's most successful global technical assistance projects.
Our work also includes solid waste management, infection control, indoor and outdoor air pollution, injury prevention, toxic substance exposure reduction, and the addressing of impacts of environmental change and emerging infectious disease.
