Alcohol contributes to millions of deaths each year. Alcohol also has negative social and economic effects on individuals, families and communities. RESET Alcohol is a groundbreaking $15 million initiative led by Vital Strategies to reduce alcohol-related harms in hard-hit countries through policy change.

With a majority of the world’s population now living in urban settings, cities are uniquely positioned to transform the fight against noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries by implementing policies to significantly reduce exposure to risk factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the transformative role of urban public health leadership to save lives.

Vital Strategies is an implementing partner of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), a consortium carrying out proven road safety interventions in 15 countries and up to 30 cities around the world.
