The design, development, and adoption of Common Core Public Health Standards (CCPHS) for training and professional certifications supported by the Council of Standards of the Strategic Advisory Board.

The Academy of Public Health of the Institute is a professional membership body that ensures that professionals gain core hands-on public health skills of their field of expertise and also certify and rank their professional experience, training and achievements through a credentialing process.

The Institute undertakes subcontracts in projects and bids for open programme and projects in the public domain and also proposes programmes to donors in areas that will bear value to public health and health systems. It is thus open to work with critical partners to make this work and bring added value to collaborative platforms and consortia.

Public Health Research aims to shed light on the influence of the determinants of health, i.e. factors (genetic, environmental, social, etc.) which determine population health. The objective is to use this knowledge to propose interventions and policies, based on scientific evidence, to help improve health and well-being, and reduce health inequalities.

The Institute situates itself as a prime consulting outfit and undertakes consultancies within its core competencies in the development of the health sector, through its pool of consultants within its membership roll. It takes pride in being adaptable to the changing landscape of public health consulting that meet the complex 21st century space and required competencies that are required for the health development landscape.

The Institute undertakes to educate , reeducate and train health workforce in the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life , promoting health and wellbeing and securing our world from threats through organized systems and efforts of society. The training given is to develop specific public health skills and understanding of innovations, whereas education in public health is focused at systematized learning to drive public health functions.

The Institute works with government and partners to strengthen enabling environments around key health issues and determinants through evidence – based advocacy, policy works, campaigns, and supporting relevant policies including legislations. This is because the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) launched at the start of 2015 to create a vision for "leaving no one behind" and, in doing so, call for reaching those who are furthest behind first is an important clasp for the work of the Institute in its approach to strengthening the enabling environment for public health programmes.
