Our work

Three initiatives, one institutional home.

Each initiative addresses a different kind of need. Its identity, way of working, and evidence remain distinct within a shared institutional direction.

Model

Not three names for the same work.

Kalakrisis focuses on response when crisis disrupts services. Alphares focuses on capability that can be used close to communities. ARC Institute focuses on research and evidence for system decisions. This relationship describes levels of action, not a required sequence.

Crisis response

Kalakrisis

View Kalakrisis

The need: Crisis can cut access, disrupt services, and create urgent health needs.
The role: Support the mobilisation of health capacity when communities face crisis or service disruption.
Public direction: COVID-19-era activity included hospital support, vaccination support, and public-health education.

Practical capability

Alphares

The need: Health knowledge is not always easy to apply in everyday work and community contexts.
The role: Strengthen practical capability with people and organisations working close to communities.
Public direction: Connect learning, local context, and usable practice.

Research and evidence

ARC Institute

View ARC Institute's role

The need: Health decisions often face fragmented data, incomparable methods, and evidence that is difficult to use.
The role: Conduct research, analysis, modelling, and tool development to support health decisions.
Public direction: The full research, report, tool, and team catalogue is available on the ARC Institute website.

Our work

New initiatives can grow without erasing established identities.

The Foundation model allows specialised initiatives to develop around the problem, method, and people they serve.
