HealthNet TPO

What HealthNet TPO does

HealthNet TPO is a Dutch humanitarian non-profit organization registered as a charity in the Netherlands, headquartered in Amsterdam at Wibautstraat 137d and operating field offices in Kabul (Afghanistan), Bujumbura (Burundi), Juba (South Sudan), and Colombia. Founded in 1992 (with the predecessor TPO organization beginning operations in Burundi in 2000 and the 2005 merger of TPO and HealthNet International forming the current entity), the organization delivers healthcare and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services to populations affected by war, displacement, and humanitarian crises. It serves refugees and asylum seekers, conflict-affected host communities, women and children in crisis settings, and humanitarian workers, reaching 7 million people with healthcare services and 178,000 with MHPSS services in 2025, supported by a workforce of 3,600+ (predominantly national staff) and a small headquarters team in Amsterdam.

The organization is structured around three core pillars: Healthcare (maternal and child health, tuberculosis treatment, malaria prevention, eye care, and emergency response), Mental Wellbeing / MHPSS (Interpersonal Psychotherapy training, counseling, group therapy, and community-based psychosocial support), and Community Resilience (peacebuilding, gender-based violence prevention, and local capacity strengthening). HealthNet TPO applies evidence-based, WHO-aligned methodologies — notably Interpersonal Psychotherapy adapted for humanitarian settings through a partnership with the mhSEVA Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Columbia University — and emphasizes localization through community health worker training, with 2,500+ clinicians and community workers trained in Burundi alone. Delivery channels include static health facilities, mobile health teams, refugee camp services in Burundi and South Sudan, and a network of community health workers and psychosocial focal points. Active programmes include the Twiteho Amagara consortium in Burundi, the Leaders of Peace Programme in South Sudan, the Accessible Eye Health Care Project in Afghanistan, and emergency responses for Afghan returnees and earthquake-affected populations.

HealthNet TPO is funded entirely through institutional grants and public donations, with no commercial revenue or fee-for-service model. Major funders include the European Union (ECHO), UNHCR, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNDP/Global Fund, the Dutch government (BUZA), the Fred Hollows Foundation, and individual donors contributing via the website (processed through Sisow by Buckaroo, supporting iDEAL, PayPal, credit card, and bank transfer) and third-party platforms including PifWorld and geef.nl. The organization holds ANBI and CBF certifications under Dutch charity law (registered charity no. 41211943). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Governance is led by Managing Director Hans Grootendorst (appointed 2019), Director of Operations Willem Reussing, and CFO Dianne Langedijk (joined February 2026).

Direct peers

• International Rescue Committee: IRC delivers integrated health, MHPSS, GBV response, and community resilience programming in conflict-affected countries, with comparable donor base (EU, UN, foundations) and similar emphasis on training local health workers in fragile states.
• Médecins Sans Frontières: MSF is the largest medical humanitarian NGO, providing emergency healthcare and MHPSS in conflict-affected countries. HealthNet TPO's Managing Director previously led MSF Netherlands, and the organizations operate comparable models of independent, donor-funded medical humanitarian action in fragile settings.
• International Medical Corps: IMC delivers emergency healthcare, mental health, and psychosocial support in conflict and disaster settings, with a comparable mix of institutional donor funding, country offices, and training-of-health-workers programs targeting refugees and host communities.
• Mercy Corps: Mercy Corps provides integrated humanitarian response including health, MHPSS, and community resilience in conflict-affected countries, funded by a similar mix of institutional donors and foundations, with comparable multi-country field operations.
• CARE International: CARE delivers health, MHPSS, GBV, and women's empowerment programming in humanitarian and fragile contexts, with comparable institutional donor funding and a similar three-pillar (health/mental health/resilience) service structure to HealthNet TPO.
• War Child: War Child is already a direct consortium partner of HealthNet TPO on the Parents Deal MPOX response in Burundi. It focuses on child and family MHPSS in conflict zones, making it a directly comparable peer in scope and target population.
• GOAL (Ireland): GOAL is already a confirmed partner of HealthNet TPO in Colombia on GBV work. It runs integrated health, MHPSS, and community resilience programming in fragile states with similar donor bases and field-delivery models.

Broad incumbents

• International Committee of the Red Cross: ICRC is a larger, established humanitarian organization operating in conflict-affected countries worldwide with health and MHPSS programming. It is comparable as a peer in scope of activities but is significantly larger and more broadly mandated.

Others

• World Health Organization (WHO): WHO provides the strategic frameworks (including IASC MHPSS guidelines) that HealthNet TPO adheres to. HealthNet TPO also contributed to South Sudan's national mental health strategic plan in alignment with WHO priorities, making WHO a normative authority and downstream funder/convener rather than a direct competitor.
• UNHCR: UNHCR is a strategic and funding partner of HealthNet TPO in Burundi refugee camps. While not a direct operational peer (UNHCR is a UN agency), it shapes the policy environment, drives funding availability, and is the principal convener of refugee health programming in HealthNet TPO's areas of operation.
