Our Commitments
Health of Women and Children
As a global health care company, our commitment focuses on five areas where we
have developed strong, innovative partnerships – and have the potential to foster the greatest
improvements in maternal and child health:
ELIMINATING
MOTHER–TO–CHILD
TRANSMISSION OF HIV
MAKING CHILDBIRTH
SAFER FOR MOTHERS

and expecting mothers; eliminating mother-to-child
HIV transmission; and research and development
to treat HIV, tuberculosis and neglected tropical
diseases. Through this comprehensive, multistakeholder
effort, we met our goal in 2014, one
year early. By the end of 2015, our commitment
had reached more than 400 million women and
children through programs in 84 countries, and had
trained more than 350,000 healthcare providers,
exceeding our stated commitments.
Cultivating Partnerships &
Measuring Impact
The work we do could not exist without
partnerships. With more than 400 partnerships
in our portfolio, we have been able to effectively
impact the lives of people throughout the world.
The Company’s corporate giving aims to
improve the health of populations around the
world through strong relationships with nonprofit
partners, putting them at the center when it
comes to program design, implementation
and evaluation. As part of our enterprise’s
Healthy Future 2015 goals, Johnson & Johnson
committed to raising the standard of measurement
and evaluation within the philanthropy programs
we support by increasing the capacity of our
partners to measure program outcomes. A set
of measures we have used to approximate our
partners’ capacity for measurement and reporting
is the “number and percentage of philanthropic
programs intending to measure long-term
outputs and/or outcomes,” for both major grants
(those over $50,000) and mid-tier/intermediate
grants. This question is asked on our common
grant application. For 2015, among those who
responded, the response was “Yes” for 170 (85
percent) of 201 major grants and 132 (70 percent)
of the 189 mid-tier/intermediate grants.
To advance our Healthy Future 2015 goal of
strengthening measurement and evaluation (M&E)
capacity, we proposed to work with a subset of
nonprofit partners we fund to identify, develop and
