The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) is an independent philanthropic organisation working towards a world in which every child can flourish in a healthy, fair and safe environment, now and in the future. To achieve this vision, CIFF’s work falls under three intersecting goals: Safe and Healthy Childhoods, which includes essential access to health, nutrition, and protection; Gender Empowerment and Informed Choice, which includes universal sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and girls’ education and skilling; as well as Climate action.
Established in 2002 by Sir Chris Hohn, CIFF has offices in Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Delhi, Beijing and London. CIFF works at a global and local level, adapting its work in Africa, India and East and Southeast Asia based on the local context, with our regional teams guiding this decision-making. This work is underpinned by a rigorous, sustainable approach to grant-making, embedding evidence, measurement and evaluation across the sector and helping build our partners’ sustainability.
