CCP has active programs in more than 30 countries worldwide as well as in the U.S. Since 1988, our programs have reached more than 1 billion people. CCP’s target audiences are international with a focus on low- and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia. Depending on the project, the approach to changing behaviors and improving health is directed to in-country governments, health centers, communities, and/or the individual.
