A global network spread across 100+ countries, of the most brilliant and committed non-profits, philanthropists, public and private organisations.
There are 1.1 billion people living with sight loss because they don't have access to eye care services. We are making the case loudly and repeatedly that access to eye health services are vital to everything, for everyone.
IAPB, on behalf of its network, holds trusted relationships with the United Nations and the World Health Organization. No one else is operating under this same model with the same reach.

· IAPB is an equal opportunity employer with a candidate selection policy that encourages diversity and inclusion.
