Movement Against Malaria
PSFI co-implemented Kilusan Ligtas Malaria (KLM), a malaria prevention and control programme, with the Provincial Government of Palawan in 1999.
The successful implementation of the programme led PSFI to receive a grant from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in 2006. Dubbed the Movement Against Malaria (MAM), the programme expanded its coverage from 5 to 40 endemic provinces by 2010 and due to favorable results, decreased to 13 by 2015.
The sustained private-public partnership in malaria control resulted in an 87% reduction in the total number of cases and 96% reduction in deaths due to malaria in the country in 2016 compared to the 2003 baseline. And through the national and local-level partnerships forged through MAM, the Philippines achieved the Millennium Development Goal 2015 target for malaria as early as 2008.

Philippine Business Sector Response to HIV/AIDS (PBSR) (2009-present)
PSFI, together with partners from the government, business sector, and multilateral organisations, founded the Philippine Business Sector Response to HIV/AIDS (PBSR) in 2009 as a response to the growing HIV epidemic in the country.
PBSR seeks to catalyse workplace-based interventions through a private-sector led initiative in an effort to help curb HIV among workplace actors.
PBSR engages CEOs, management, workers, and representatives in its advocacy and training programmes (components: HIV 101 Sessions, Peer Education Training, Trainers’ Training, and Workplace Policy Writing Workshops targeting focal points of enterprises).
