Options is a leading provider of technical expertise, short-term consultancy and long-term management services in the health and the social sectors. Established in 1992, Options has evolved into a dynamic organisation with a broad portfolio of work that includes over 700 assignments in 50 countries. We work with a wide range of clients that includes donors, national governments, the private sector, academic institutions, and civil society.

Options' mission is to improve the health and quality of life of poor and marginalised people.

We are committed to working in partnership with national governments, international development agencies, the private sector and civil society to strengthen programmes and policies that directly support the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals in health and poverty reduction.

We focus on strengthening services, increasing access and improving the quality of care at all levels of the health system. We seek to influence grass roots programming, give voice to the poor and under-served and support effective international donor and national government policies and programmes.

The following values guide us in all our work:

• We are a pro-active, learning organisation and we invest our surplus in new technologies, people and products that further our mission
• We are committed to an evidence-based approach
• We are a people-centred business - we place a high value on our partnerships with clients and consultants, as well as the communities we work with
• We believe that people have the right to participate in their own development.
