FPD BUILDS CAPACITY AND CHANGES LIVES

FPD was founded in 1997 as a non-profit organisation with a focus on addressing the critical need for professional development and capacity building in various sectors, particularly healthcare and education, in South Africa. In the early years, we primarily concentrated on healthcare-related programmes and initiatives. We aimed to enhance the skills and competencies of healthcare professionals, particularly in underserved areas, to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes across the country.

Over time, we expanded our scope to include education and training programmes beyond healthcare. We recognised the importance of education in driving socio-economic development and empowerment, especially in communities facing significant challenges.

We have also forged partnerships and collaborations with various stakeholders, including government agencies, academic institutions, non-profit organisations, and international bodies. These partnerships have been instrumental in expanding the reach and impact of our programmes and initiatives.

We have diversified our programmes and services to address a wide range of needs and challenges in South Africa. These include training and capacity building, research, advocacy, and consultancy services across multiple sectors. FPD has also gained recognition for our contributions to professional development, healthcare, and education in South Africa. Our programmes have made a tangible impact on the lives of individuals and communities, particularly those in marginalised and underserved areas.

Like any organisation, we have evolved and adapted to changing circumstances, including shifts in government policies, socio-economic dynamics, and technological advancements. We have remained responsive to emerging needs and trends, continually refining our approaches and strategies.

We have emerged as a key player in promoting professional excellence, capacity building, and socio-economic development in South Africa, making significant contributions to the nation's progress and well-being.
